We are back this week for the last episode of the second season here at the Strike & Ellacott Files. This episode contains all of the bloopers and outtakes that we, for reasons that may become obvious, could not include in our usual episodes. 

We'll be back in a few months following the release of The Ink Black Heart. Keep an eye on our social media channels - we'll be keeping you all posted!

We're back this week to discuss our final predictions for The Ink Black Heart! Now that we have some idea of what the book is about, we spend some time analyzing the synopsis line-by-line, discussing the cover art, as well as some listener predictions. We'll be back in two weeks for the final episode of this season, containing bloopers and outtakes from this season.

In honor of finally getting a date for the release of the cover and blurb of The Ink Black Heart, we’re back with Sam early this week for the episode that concludes this reread of The Cuckoo’s Calling. In this episode, we discuss Jo's Twitter header change, Strike's immensely satisfying final showdown with Lula Landry's killer, and the potential meaning behind the phrase 'I am become a name.'
