About this deal

So the obvious question becomes, why did J.K. Rowling write as Robert Galbraith instead of herself? As you might already suspect, the answer is that she didn’t want the pressure of writing as Rowling. With the wide-spread success of Harry Potter, certain expectations are placed upon Rowling for any book she publishes. Barraclough, Leo (1 November 2016). "Holliday Grainger to Star in J.K. Rowling's 'Cormoran Strike' ". Variety.

Linda Ellacott: Robin's mother, first appearing in the second novel. She is a generally kind and supportive woman who, Strike notes, her daughter physically resembles. She visits London to care for her daughter, supporting her decision to take a break in her relationship with Matthew. She is concerned by the possible dangers of her daughter's work, and suspicious about the extent of Robin's feelings towards Strike himself. It’s been brilliant to see the enormous success of the Robert Galbraith books over the past ten years and an honour to publish them. With over 11 million copies sold in the English language to date, the story of Strike and Robin has captured readers’ imaginations and, like so many others, I can’t wait to see what happens to them over the course of the final four books in the series.’ David Shelley, Group Chief Executive, Hachette UK Potterheads (fans of Harry Potter) and book readers everywhere are well aware of the series’ world-famous author, J.K. Rowling. But did you know that Robert Galbraith is a penname for none other than Rowling herself? The book ends as Robin, about to leave with Ryan Murphy, asks Strike about Charlotte and he tells Robin that Charlotte knew he was in love with Robin.As we mentioned above, the first four books in the series have already been adapted for television, airing originally on BBC One in the UK. In the UK, the series is simply called Strike, while the series is known as CB Strike in the US. Strike's uncle Ted becomes increasingly unwell with dementia. Strike ends his affair with Bijou after she falls pregnant by a wealthy QC and, after calling him several times to no response, his ex, Charlotte, kills herself.

He's a bit of a mess, but he's talented, dedicated, and determined to make a success of the business. Unlike many classic male detectives, it's easy to like Cormoran Strike. When Robin Ellacott enters the picture, she's essentially the missing piece in his life – though neither of them realise it. Charlotte Campbell (Ross): Strike's ex-fiancée. Wealthy and mercurial, she and Strike had a tempestuous on-off relationship for 16 years after first meeting at Oxford, but Strike ends their engagement for good as the events of the first novel begin. She walks out of his life literally at the moment Robin walks into it. She allegedly lied to Strike about being pregnant with his child. She later marries her pre-Strike Oxford boyfriend, Jago Ross, and soon becomes pregnant with twins, although she remains interested in Strike, especially after he becomes famous. He considers her to be a compulsive liar with an insatiable need for drama. She kills herself in the seventh book. I think you have demonstrated that it could be. The trademark having been filed follows the precedent you and Patricio discovered with the Christmas Pig and Donne is very much a Strike epigraph possibility given the Revenge drama sources of ‘Silkworm’ and Spenser’s ‘Faerie Queen’ for ‘Troubled Blood.’ This is a very exciting find!

New Features

Cormoran Strike is a series of crime fiction novels written by British author J. K. Rowling, published under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. The story chronicles the cases of the fictional British private detective Cormoran Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott. Seven novels in the series have so far been published. Rowling stated after the third book that she has plans for at least another ten. [1] The seventh novel, titled The Running Grave, was released on 26 September 2023. [2] Strike's personal life is complicated. He has just split from his long term partner and fiancée, Charlotte Campbell, who immediately marries another man. He is closest to his half-sister Lucy (his mother's second child), with whom he grew up, though he has seven other half-siblings (the other children of Rokeby) and one half-brother who is the son of his mother and her last husband Jeff Whittaker. Even his relationship with Lucy is somewhat fraught, and Strike finds himself becoming closer to Robin, who has always wanted to be a detective, than he at first feels entirely comfortable with.
