It is coming out this week. Anyone else excited?
There is an extract in yesterday's Guardian: www.theguardian.com/books/2018/sep/15/robert-galbraith-jk-rowling-strike-extract-lethal-white?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard

Yes, very. Ordered my copy yesterday Smile

I've set a reminder for myself to buy the kindle copy on Tuesday. Super excited Grin no idea what it's even about!

ElenaGreco123 · 16/09/2018 14:03

DH said he would buy it for me for our anniversary. I hope I will not actually have to wait a full week to read it. Hmm

I started reading it yesterday and was hooked : it is very long at nearly 606 pages!

ShinyElena · 19/09/2018 12:23

How did you get your mitts on a copy? Mine is only coming on Monday I think.
Enjoy!

The80sweregreat · 19/09/2018 14:19

I preordered on a kindle from Amazon! Been waiting for book four for a while

countingdown · 19/09/2018 14:21

I’ve downloaded it on audible but have only managed to listen to the first chapter so far.

DolorestheNewt · 19/09/2018 14:22

Oh yikes, another distraction from Middlemarch and all the books I've committed to read for Victober (Uncle Silas, Daniel Deronda, Wives & Daughters) waves @CramptonHodnet**

5ambreakfastclub · 19/09/2018 14:33

Oh yes , downloaded it on Tuesday and finished it today ( thanks to my 10 month old who decided to actually nap for a change 😃). Has anyone else finished it yet? I couldn't put it down!

The80sweregreat · 19/09/2018 14:42

I'm enjoying it so far.

hackmum · 19/09/2018 14:49

I'm about a quarter way through and really enjoying it. I'd been a bit worried that at 650 pages it would drag but actually it's skipping along.

ShinyElena · 19/09/2018 15:05

I need a hard copy, because DH wants to read it, too. I am so envious of all of you.

Lunde · 19/09/2018 15:10

I preordered the hardback from Amazon and it arrived in Sweden yesterday - I am 185 pages in and it is really good so far.

bakingdemon · 19/09/2018 15:17

DH picked it up at the airport and read in a single sitting on his flight! Can't wait for him to get back from his business trip now so I can read it

The80sweregreat · 19/09/2018 15:27

She's a good writer ; I'm in love with strike myself though!

mamapants · 22/09/2018 10:42

I finished last night, best of the series.
So pleased about one thing that happened!

ShinyElena · 22/09/2018 11:07

I cannot wait.

hackmum · 22/09/2018 14:27

Finished it now. Thought it was excellent - gloriously complicated. Because I read/watch a lot of crime thrillers I'm usually pretty good at working out whodunnit. Didn't stand a chance with this one, though. She is such a clever writer. It showed even in the Harry Potters.

5ambreakfastclub · 22/09/2018 15:15

hackmum totally agree , she is just such a fantastic writer . The book was fabulous and I was kept guessing until the end. Plus it's one of the few crime thrillers that I would quite happily read again and again !

The80sweregreat · 22/09/2018 20:46

I loved this book.
I ( sort of) had an inkling of the conclusion but not all of it! Very complicated plot.
Here's to book 5 ..

RaggieDolls · 24/09/2018 18:34

Me too mama. I know exactly what you're referring to!

Loved, loved, loved this book. Best of the series so far.

Letshopeitsallok · 24/09/2018 18:44

Finished it yesterday! I listened to the audible version. Robert Glenister who does the narration is excellent. I really enjoyed it, although reviews have been mixed.

MrsChollySawcutt · 24/09/2018 18:54

Halfway through listening to the audiobook of this. I have to agree that Robert Glenister is a superb narrator for this series.

missnevermind · 24/09/2018 19:03

I have only watched the others on TV should I read the books first or dive straight in with this one?

MrsChollySawcutt · 24/09/2018 19:09

Definitely start from the beginning, there's lots of interconnections between characters throughout the series and slowly unfolding backstories than become important in later books.
