The Running Grave: Cormoran Strike Book 7

Product Information

We will also have 3 more books to finish the story of Leda & Rokeby (I have no idea what she’ll do about Switch and all the siblings if she does finish with Strike and Robin after book 10). The author has previously said that she intends for there to be many books in the Cormoran Strike series, so there’s no doubt that Book 6 is going to happen. It’s only a question of when.

She has also admitted that her assertion that she wasn’t really writing a series per se at all but disjointed novels was also a lie.Naturally, I’m not going to give away whether this seventh entry in the series takes their relationship any further forward, although I will say that – unlike with the seventh Harry Potter book, which ended with Harry, Ron and Hermione married off to the loves of their lives – we seem a long way from a ­definitive ending to the saga.

The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith review – a riveting

The series as structured thus far, as prevailing opinion here holds though Prof Freeman’s pentagram hypothesis demands serious consideration, is a seven book ring or asterisk. The public was told at one point that it was a seven book series. Robert Galbraith and J.K. Rowling’s fictional detective series is hotter than ever, and there’s no end in sight. Here’s what we know about the next novel, Cormoran Strike Book 6! Rowling has been insisting the series is not seven but ten books long but not denying that it is a ring series and in parallel with the Hogwarts Saga. [Yes, I know no one has asked her about that, but still….] This works with Kathleen’s idea and Louise’s 5-6 Flip idea so long as we understand that stages 5, 6, and 7 in the alchemical sequence and echoing the Potter stages will each arrive as two parts, Strikes 6A, 6B, 7A, and 7B, which will add up to ten books but still be seven stages. I imagine 7B will be the original book 7 as plotted with Heart as 5 and Blood as 6, and that 6A, 6B, and 7A are the cases Rowling dreamed up during the writing of the first books that she wanted to include. She may be referencing these ‘extra’ cases as early as her interview with Val McDermid or even her first denials when she was outed as Galbraith that it was a seven book series. Of course, Rowling is canny enough to know that her delaying her readers’ gratification is one ­reason they keep returning to the series – getting Strike and Robin into bed too soon would be akin to killing Voldemort off halfway through the Harry Potter series – but at the current rate it looks like we’ll have achieved net zero before they’ve even held hands for the first time. So are we to believe there are ten books that have been plotted — or the textual evidence of a seven book cycle, a parallel series with the Hogwarts Saga, and the possibility there may be more (but not necessarily!) or as many or as few as the author claims?

It’s not, there are actually more than that. The beauty of writing these types of novels is that they each have their own discrete story, so the series is pretty open ended. It will run for as long as I have stories to tell.” I am also so happy to have found, and finally, be able to write on this blog/analysis in real-time. I have spent the better part of this past year reading through the commentary on the Strike and HP Series. This will be my first post on this discussion board, but after finishing IBH on Saturday, my immediate thought was that IBH is Strike’s response to TB, which is Robin’s book. It feels like the two stories are a duology. I even wrote that up in my Goodreads review. While I take the point listed above that IBH is part of a book, I do not think it is part of a book to follow, rather it provides a conclusion to the book which came before. What could happen is the Met could, on occasion, farm out certain cases for Strike, Robin, and the other personnel to solve in their ample leisure time. Friendly faces in the Yard, such as Wardle, Anstiss, or maybe even Laybourne would possibly find enough case material to send their way. Some of it could even turn out to be bigger than anyone was expecting. The curious part is that, for some strange reason, my imagination insists that the best way to execute this idea is as a series of short stories, rather than novels.

From this view, all the things you expected in Strike6 on the assumption that it would follow on Strike 5 the way Potter 6 follows Potter 5 or the way Silkworm‘preceded’ Career of Evil will eventually happen but not in the novel we expected. Look for all the things we anticipated to occur in Strike 7 — which will via Strike EP not be an equivalent of Deathly Hallows. I go through all that to make the point that, if Rowling only wrote seven Strike novels, then the teevee program would only have seven seasons. Why give a premature death sentence to a goose laying golden eggs? When stretched to ten or more books, the series and teevee show could have a significantly longer and more profitable run.I’m going to count this contribution as a ‘Yes’ vote for Strike EP rather than as disappointment with Strike6 or with those of us who were so mistaken in creating expectations of what it would hold.

I think that the first four books stand on their own. But, books 5 and 6 are certainly linked together, IBH is certainly the conclusion of the ideas around the roles and framing of Men and Women in society first started in TB. It’s not yet clear when the book will be published but it’s expected to be on late 2023 (or early 2024). We can’t wait to see what J.K. Rowling has in store for us in this new installment of the Cormoran Strike series. No, I don’t think “Follow the Money” explains Rowling-Galbraith’s decision making here. It’s just that, if she was inspired to stretch the seven book ring into, say, ten books for reasons of inspiration, artistry, plot demands, etc., it wouldn’t hurt that it also means continuing a financially successful operation both with respect to her novels and Bronte Studios. I can’t be the only one considering whether IBH might be half of “book six” from an original plan for seven books. I propose JKR has decided to divide the sixth and seventh parts of Strike and Robin’s story into two books each, which will result in a total of 10 books. Beyond Book 6, Rowling is expected to write at least a couple more Cormoran Strike books before wrapping up the beloved whodunit series.Cormoran Strike Book 6 is expected to take place in 2015, so this tweet would suggest that Rowling has been writing the sixth novel since as early as Spring 2020. While she may have tweeted this before Troubled Blood was released, the fact is that the events of the fifth novel only run between 2013 and 2014. Rokeby has to appear and die in Strike6, giving his favorite son clues and cash to solve the Leda mystery in the series finale, because, y’know, Dumbledore in Harry6!”“Look for Polworth to find the crucial evidence Strike needs to solve the case because, of course, that’s what does in Strike2!”“Lots of swans, silver, and precipitation are expected ( Tom Waites song!) because of the albedo signatures; look for them!”
