I only checked the net last night, where did you find this news?
Also need to know when ‘Robert’s’ next book in the series is out!

Do any of you have undercover jobs at the publishers or the beeb?😂

Ooh where are we up to? Ink Black Heart?
love these adaptations.

Fifiesta · 06/11/2024 15:12

@ Bsmirched. Ahhh excellent news!

Oblomov24 · 09/11/2024 10:39

Looking forward to it.

When in December though 😩 can't wait!!

I also for some reason thought the next book would be out this autumn, must have been wishful thinking Grin

I didn't like all the chat room stuff with this book. Not sure how well it will translate to tv? This was my least favourite of the Strike books so far.

User478 · 09/11/2024 12:22

I loved the book, but I have no idea how it will translate to the screen!

(Tbh I'm not that bothered by the TV adaptions, -but I didn't care for the HP films either...)

Someone I know said they didn't understand the book and it was their least favourite Ellacott book, but they did skip all the chat room bits as they were too complicated to read...

mum2jakie · 09/11/2024 13:56

I skimmed the chat room conversations too. Really don't enjoy books in that style. Didn't get on with The Appeal either - made up mostly of text messages and emails!

I have just finished a reread of the IBH. I enjoyed it knowing exactly who the killer was it shows how she works her way towards it. Gets a bit turgid. JKR is like that in places, especially in HP. Strike are still some of my favourite novels.

I was going to skip the chat rooms on the reread but it's not so bad if you read the single chat rooms and don't attempt to read them in real time in tiny writing.

I will look forward to the TV show, especially the bit at the Ritz at the beginning!

I'm desperate for Strike 8 to come out.

Might have to reread a casual vacancy to put me on. Currently reading Conclave by Robert Harris and its not as good as The Strike reread I've just done.

The only Strike book I've not reread is Running Grave as I have read it too recently.

the80sweregreat · 09/11/2024 14:16

I can't remember much of The Ink black heart and the only one I haven't re read !
My favorite book is still the very first one.

Mymanyellow · 09/11/2024 16:10

My favourite is Troubled Blood but then Iv’e always liked cold cases.

the80sweregreat · 09/11/2024 17:29

Troubled blood is a close second for me yellow.
It was very good.
