Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott Timelines Updated

Several years ago, I drew up timelines of both Strike and Robin's lives, focusing on events that happened before the book series (IED explosion that took Strike's leg, Robin's rape at university) and those that happened between books (such as the hiring of various sub-contractors). These timelines were previously available on Hogwartsprofessor.com but were removed after I left that site to open the Farting Sofa Faculty Lounge. 

Note:  for the most definitive timelines within the books, I refer you to the invaluable resources on Strikefans.com. 

I have recently updated the documents to include information from The Ink Black Heart, The Running Grave, and The Hallmarked Man, including the lengthy history of the Nancarrow family revealed in the latest book. 

Inconsistencies and possible errors are highlighted in red. Examples include Ted's serving in the Falklands War (which occurred some twenty years after he left the Army), Strike's work on the Digger Mallory case (said to have happened after the IED explosion) and the exact time Leda and kids were at the Norfolk commune (Strike was either 8, 10 or 12, depending on where you read). 

The timelines are always a work in progress, and I welcome feedback, corrections and additions. In particular, I would like to hear from readers of more recent paperback editions, as continuity errors are occasionally corrected (e.g., Lucy was said to be a "newborn" when Strike was four and they were first left with Ted and Joan; that was later corrected to "2-year-old."

Robin's timeline is available here.

Strike's timeline is available here. 

I hope people find the links helpful. 

Happy New Year to All!
