Hello everyone,
It is now only THREE WEEKS until Lethal White, the next book in the Cormoran Strike series by Robert Galbraith (that’s J.K. Rowling to us) is released. I personally cannot wait, and am going to be building up to it by rereading the first three books in the series, which sit happily in my bookcase.
When I first heard that J.K. Rowling was the actual author of The Cuckoo’s Calling, I surprisingly did not go straight to the local bookstore or buy it online. I waited until 2016, when all three books had been released, and then read them all back-to-back.
Each case has been compelling and captivating, but for me this is primarily a wonderful, character-driven series of books. I like the shrewdness and uniqueness of Cormoran Strike, and also his complexity – he has a lot of flaws, but he is just a great character to read about and discover.
His assistant Robin Ellacott is one of my favourite bookish characters – she is so lovable. Clever, sensitive and compassionate – she is a character who I care a great deal about, and together with Cormoran the two make a perfect partnership.
For two years, I have been waiting to find out what happens next! The end of Career of Evil left me on tenterhooks, and I have waited so patiently to see where Strike and Robin’s stories continue on from where the last book left off. I hope it is worth the wait.
In the meantime, I have had the television series to enjoy. The adaptations are very good – a few little things were changed but the essence of the story and the characters were captured well, but I am very much looking forward to rereading the books over the coming weeks, and then devouring Lethal White.
