The series as structured thus far, as prevailing opinion here holds though Prof Freeman’s pentagram hypothesis demands serious consideration, is a seven book ring or asterisk. The public was told at one point that it was a seven book series.Robin Ellacott, a private detective, was approached by Edie Ledwell, who wanted help to discover the identity of an online figure called Anomie. Robin and her business partner Cormoran Strike decided to investigate, but soon Edie was found murdered in Highgate Cemetery. Strike and Robin then devoted themselves to uncovering the truth behind Anomie, navigating a complex web of online aliases and business interests. Ultimately, the case put their own lives in danger. She has also admitted that her assertion that she wasn’t really writing a series per se at all but disjointed novels was also a lie. Funny you should ask. I'm with him right now in a crowded London bar. But we're also in 2015. https://t.co/6gzc1rleCY October 20, 2015 saw the release of ‘Career of Evil’, the third novel in the Cormoran Strike series.

This possibility fits with her comments about 10 books. It also could answer questions about some “missing elements,” such as the Silver Haired Man, Gigi the hanged singer, the rest of the Halvening story, Strike and Robin deciding to become romantic partners, a deliberate kiss to parallel the hand kiss, Pru, Rokeby, Leda, Switch, etc. I’m sure others can think of additional loose ends, critical steps towards resolving the mystery of Leda’s death, and missing relationship milestones. I’m going to count this contribution as a ‘Yes’ vote for Strike EP rather than as disappointment with Strike6 or with those of us who were so mistaken in creating expectations of what it would hold. I think that the first four books stand on their own. But, books 5 and 6 are certainly linked together, IBH is certainly the conclusion of the ideas around the roles and framing of Men and Women in society first started in TB. Without Louise Freeman’s brilliant literary detective work to reveal the center stage of her planning, the 5-6 Flip idea, the Strike EP possibility really wouldn’t make sense. With it, all the remnant parallels and alchemical coloring pieces fit into a relatively sloppy progression. Not to mention that Rowling’s otherwise risible public pronouncements that it is not a 7 book series now make sense. Beyond Book 6, Rowling is expected to write at least a couple more Cormoran Strike books before wrapping up the beloved whodunit series.

Will we learn more about recurring characters who are barely mentioned in IBH (if at all), such as Shanker, Vanessa, Uncle Ted, Lucy, Polworth and Robin's brothers? All about the Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott novels by Robert Galbraith, better known as J.K. Rowling.
