The scene existed seemingly and purely for Rafe to recount and confirm his role in the whole mixed-up, convoluted and very strange tale. Although exactly why he summoned her is anyone’s guess, because all he had to do was do a runner and with his connections and wealth he’d have been in the clear. There was one final confrontation between Rafe and Robin, who was suckered in going to meet him on a houseboat. Stop me if this is getting too ridiculous. This, of course, had tormented Billy for the rest of his life. One of the people who had mistaken his gender was poor Billy Knight, who saw what he thought was a girl burying the bones of Kinvara’s favourite horse – bones that he thought were human bones. His psychopathic tendencies began when he was a child, when he had long hair and was mistaken for a girl. In an eye-widenening explanation, slimy old Rafe Chiswell was revealed to have been having an affair with his step-mother, all because he wanted an expensive painting that no one else in the family knew was expensive. Then there were horses (horses?), paintings of horses (say what now?), and the bones of horses (okaaaaay then). Apparently, the Chiswells and the Knights built gallows to sell to dodgy regimes (hence the secret Marappe file, which featured a Zimbabwean man). Just before it did, Kinvara explained the whole Chiswell-Knight relationship. From the moment Cormoran and Robin interviewed her, things descended into a frantic, barely conceivable ending. Winn had gone from blustering MP to drinking super-strength lager on a park bench in the space of an episode (a pretty dramatic transformation, it has to be said), but Strike called it right: Winn needed Chiswell alive to inflict as much pain and vengeance upon him as possible.Īll eyes were back on the dysfunctional Chiswell family, and especially his widow Kinvara. For good reason, too – the late Freddie Chiswell, the apple of his father’s eye – did unspeakable things to Winn’s daughter, causing her to take her own life. Then it was on to Geraint Winn, Chiswell’s rival MP and the man who had been blackmailing him. Tools? Have you ever heard anyone murder someone for some tools? And in a crime drama? Jimmy Knight was a no-no because, in custody, the wildly arrogant activist said that the Chiswells owed his family money after Jasper sold his father’s tools. There were paintings, there were boys that looked like girls and there was poor old Robin, who was thrust into yet another life or death situation.īut before the confounding denouement, like in any good procedural there were suspects to be processed.
In the end, it came down to… I’m still not entirely sure, such was the furious onslaught of odd twists and turns. According to Deadline, the network "hasn't had the opportunity to read the book yet.After holding out hope that this final part of the latest four-part Strike story would provide something approaching a satisfying ending, I was let down horribly. Strike in the U.S., has not yet confirmed if it will carry the new adaptation. As for an American airing, Cinemax, which showed C.B. Lethal White is expected to air some time in 2019 in the U.K.

In true Harry Potter tradition, each book in the series has been getting longer than the previous one. Whereas the earlier Strike novel, which like her new book Rowling wrote under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, were adapted into just two or three episodes each, Lethal White will span to four one-hour parts. The new story is also longer than the previous three. Despite his patchy memory and obvious mental anguish, Strike and Robin decide there's something sincere about his story, and set off on a journey that takes in the streets of London, a "disturbing inner sanctum" in the Houses of Parliament, and a "beautiful, sinister manor deep in the English countryside." The new story follows Billy, a troubled young man who asks for help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child. Tom Burke will reprise his role of Cormoran Strike, a war veteran turned private detective who operates out of a tiny London office, while Holliday Grainger will return as Robin Ellacott, his assistant. "We are delighted to announce that the Strike series will return to BBC One with Lethal White," said Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, calling it "another brilliant, knotty and original crime story." when it aired on Cinemax over the summer. Rowling's new novel - the latest installment of her Cormoran Strike detective series - has only been out a matter of weeks, but the BBC has already announced it's going to adapt it for television.ĭeadline reports the broadcaster will soon start filming Lethal White, just as it did the three previous Strike novels The Cuckoo's Calling, The Silkworm and Career of Evil.
