Their tentative touches and meaningful looks are sexier and more romantic than most actual sex scenes.

✍️ NEW BLOG POST! ✍️

As we’ve been working our way through The Running Grave week by week, we’ve noticed that it can sometimes be a bit tricky to keep track of the huge cast of characters who lived at Chapman Farm over the decades—and we’ve heard from our listeners that many of you have the same problem!

So, we decided to put together a timeline of every important character who resided at Chapman Farm (or Forgeman Farm, as it was previously known) in the time span relevant to The Running Grave. The infographic below shows the complete timeline: who was at Chapman Farm, when, and for how long, as well as the important events that occurred there.

We hope you enjoy - big shoutout to Pools for putting this together!

I know some people were upset with Rowling for including a cross-dressing serial killer in Troubled Blood, but most of them fail to mention that the cross-dressing serial killer is a misdirection, a red herring who ends up having very little to do with the actual case. Creed does talk about affecting effeminate manners to appear less threatening, and occasionally wearing women’s coat as a disguise. But this all draws the reader’s attention away from the fact that the real killer in the case manages to appear nonthreatening because she’s actually a woman. That the person who can hide best in plain sight is a woman. Worse, Talbot’s obsession with a potential cross-dressing serial killer actively hampers his investigation, because he focuses too much on Theo, who instead of a cross-dressing male serial killer, turned out to be some harmless and completely random woman.

This is a novel that describes tons of male violence, and in the end focuses on a female serial killer. Creed is a sadistic serial killer, the Riccis are mobsters who traffic and occasionally kill women, and the less overtly violent men are not great either. Satchwell is an abusive to the point of hitting Margot and locking her up, Athort pimped out a developmentally disabled woman, Oakden is a petty thief, a sensationalist liar, con man, misogynist and all round shit-stirrer, Brenner uses a sex worker who’s technically her medical patient, having blackmailed her into accepting him, Bayliss may not be a rapist if we beleive his daughters but he’s still an adulterer, even Roy Phipps is controlling and emotionally repressive.

So of course we’re looking for a male murderer! We’re looking so hard for a male murderer that when see a reasonably reliable eye-witness account of two women struggling in the street, we, like Talbot fail to see what’s in front of our nose, that the murderer is a woman, and instead start inventing theories that either involve crossdressing, or discard the eyewitness account altogether.

We’re looking for a male murderer, so we notice that Douthwaithe is a womanizer, that women keep dying around him, that he keeps changing his name and moving across country. Which is suspicious, it cannot possibly be an accident. And it isn’t - everything that makes him look like a serial killer is actually the result of him being stalked by a serial killer who murders his love interests and scares him into running away and changing his name.

This is a novel about male violence, and female violence, and it makes the point that while men are far, far more likely to enact violence, women are also very capable of it, it’s just mostly they don’t.

‘You did bloody well.’

‘Thank you,’ said Robin, as startled as she was gratified.

‘Can we agree, though — please? That in the future, we talk these things through?’

‘If I’d asked you — ’

‘Yeah, I might’ve said no, and I’d’ve been wrong, and I’ll bear that in mind next time, OK? But as you keep reminding me, we’re partners, so I’d be grateful —’

‘All right,’ said Robin. ‘Yes. We’ll discuss it. I’m sorry I didn’t.’
