J K Rowling’s just announced the title of the new Strike & Robin book on Twitter.

[EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn]

‘Ink Black Heart’, finished and due in 2022

Yay!

That’s really exciting! I wonder when in 2022.

Hi @EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn can I ask if I'd be able to read this one first or would it be better to start with some of the earlier ones? I nearly bought it today but thought I'd ask on mn in case I ruin the experience by not knowing the bacground! Thanks

I would read from the start, personally, but each book does work as a standalone.

I second reading from the start. It can be read as a stand alone, but the story of main characters evolve in a way that youdl get more out of it if you started with book one. (Oh to have the pleasure of 6 unread strike books to relish)

Thanks for replies. I'll start at the beginning. I'm quite excited now. There's a box set on Amazon I might treat myself to and then the new one can go on my Christmas list

I'm half way through

Am currently on Lethal White and am loving them … definitely need to read in order for the development on their relationship. I’ve seen the tv series but there’s something even better in their relationship when it’s written down. Can’t wait to get to the ones that haven’t been televised yet, I think Lethal White is the last one that has?

I'm definitely going to read them all. I'm not sure how I've missed them. I don't get out much!
