The new Cormoran Strike, The Running Grave, has landed! Has she broken 2000 pages yet ? LOL No, this one is back under 1000. It was really all the forum conversations that made the last one so many pages... fewer words per page.

I was saying in jest that you would get one on Monday, only 2 days out then It also came up in my Borrowbox under "November listens", I was going to tell you about it in case you could listen to it but you've got a copy now. Hope you enjoy it!
