The new Mr and Mrs Cunliffe take their baby son, William, to Masham for Christmas, and when Robin hears about this from her cousin Katie, she’s glad she worked over Christmas rather than visited her family. The synopsis reads: 'Private detective Cormoran Strike is visiting his family in Cornwall when he’s approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother, Margot Bamborough, who went missing. Robin thinks and talks about their defunct marriage, but the only new information we find out about his life since his divorce is that he and Sarah are now married. Six novels in the series have so far been published. Rowling, published under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.The story chronicles the cases of the fictional British private detective Cormoran Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott. We are spared an appearance from Matthew in The Ink Black Heart. Cormoran Strike is a series of crime fiction novels written by British author J. ‘G’luck, Robs,’ he said thickly, and walked away for good.” 23 Then he walked back to her, bent down, and before she knew what was happening, he’d hugged her quickly, then let go as though she was red hot. “For a fraction of a second, his face worked slightly, like a small boy’s. Robin seems to choose to let go of some of the anger and resentment, telling him that she’ll never forget how he was there for her after her attack. When they finally meet at mediation, Robin realizes that Matthew and Sarah are not only going to be married but are also having a baby. “She’d spent nearly half her life with Matthew, and not until a hard, bright diamond ear stud had appeared in their bed had she realized that he was living a life apart, and was not, and perhaps never had been, the man she thought she knew.” 22 He blames Robin for the end of their marriage and is determined to make her pay emotionally and financially. In a surprise to no one, Matthew continues to make life difficult for Robin in Troubled Blood by dragging out their divorce and refusing to be reasonable. In The Cuckoo’s Calling, within the first week of Robin working for Strike, Matthew had already started to complain about her job. Matthew and Robin’s relationship is characterized by quite a bit of quarreling that intensifies as the series continues. It’s mentioned in the first novel that Matthew has a newborn niece (whose name he often has trouble remembering). Matthew’s friends include a group of rugby players, Sarah Shadlock and Tom Turvey, the former two he knows from university. This desire was engrained in him from a young age: His father is from Yorkshire and his mother from Surrey, and she ensured that Matthew and his sister, Kimberley, grew up to speak with a neutral accent - and a bit of disdain for their northern homeland. 8 Now an accountant 9 living in the capital city, Matthew is desperate to leave behind his identity as a Yorkshireman and appear as though he is first and foremost a Londoner. 6 He attended University of Bath 7 and played rugby. They both grew up in Masham, the Yorkshire town where both their parents continue to live. Matthew and Robin met at and have been dating ever since secondary school.
