Just picked mine up from my local bookshop. And my local Waterstone's had a whole window full of the book, with a special half-price offer.

I have started reading it; slipping into another story of characters who feel like old friends.

(Heretical opinion: I think Ms Rowling is a better writer in the Strike series than Harry Potter, but she still needs an editor.)

I’ve got 22 hours left on the audiobook. I’m really enjoying it.

Got mine on audible this morning but I’ve got over an hour to go on the book I’m already listening to waaah

I got mine today. Absolutely love this series and almost don’t want to start it because very soon it will be finished and I’ll have to wait a long time for the next one!

I have 7 hours left of the audio book.

No spoilers but she has put something in especially for us. I am sure you will all spot it.

I did. And now I can’t remember so I’ll have to pick it up on my next reading.

DS and I have just finished listening to the first one on audible… and listened to the first five mins on audible this morning of The Silkworm.
So we’ve got a long way to go until we get to the latest!

Yes book in hand as soon as the kids go down. Big fan pre RG being JKR. Lovely to have a big book to enjoy

I finished it this morning & it was fabulous. I won’t say anything else.

I’m listening to the Strike & Ellacott Files podcast reaction episode at the moment. Massive spoilers right from the start so safest not to listen until you’ve finished.

I will buy mine soon. looking forward to it.
I like the pace, don't think she needs an editor.

Ooh I didn't know it had been released. Hopefully they'll have a copy when I go to the supermarket tomorrow.

Just started listening to it, only about ten minutes in. I do get a bit irritated by the repetitive style, but she is absolutely brilliant at plotting. I’ve loved each of the books so far.

Me! I need to finish my current book then I’m getting stuck in. I’ve introduced Dd to the tv series today. She’s not much of a reader.
My copy was delivered on release day and I was very excited!

Im sad enough that I had the release date in my calendar! I'm over 100 pages in and am very much enjoying it already - I know she gets critiqued for needing a bit more editorial oversight but honestly I'm happy to have as much as she will give me. I am also super excited that we have a trip to Ironbridge coming up which is across the valley from where I grew up!
