The Hallmarked Man Real-time Re-read for 2026: The schedule for Parts 4-10

I had so much fun re-reading the first three parts of The Hallmarked Man during the approximate time of year (and ending with a Christmas Eve post on Christmas Eve) that I decided to continue the trend in the new year: start Part 4 during the first week of January with the goal of finishing on April 7th; the date of Strike's unfortunate encounter with Robin on the office stairs. This will mean a slower-paced read-through: roughly 3-4 chapters per bi-weekly post instead of 6-7. Given how complex this storyline will get, slowing down the pace is probably a good thing. 

Here's the planned schedule:

Tuesday, January 6th:  Chapters 42-44.

Saturday, January 10th: Chapters 45-47.

Tuesday, January 13th:  Chapters 48-51.

Saturday, January 17th: Chapters 52-56.

Tuesday, January 20th:  Chapters 57-59.

Saturday, January 24th: Chapters 60-64. 

Tuesday, January 27th:  Chapters 65-67.

Saturday, January 31th: Chapters 68-69. 

Tuesday, February 3rd:  Chapters 70-72.

Saturday, February 7th: Chapters 73-75.

Tuesday, February 10th:  Chapters 76-79.

Saturday, February 14th: Chapters 80-83.

Tuesday, February 17th:  Chapters 84-86.

Saturday, February 21st: Chapters 87-88.

Tuesday, February 24th:  Chapters 89-92.

Saturday, February 28th: Chapters 93-95.

Tuesday, March 3rd: Chapters 96-97.

Saturday March 21st: Chapters 110-112. 

Tuesday, March 24th: Chapters 113-115.

Saturday March 28th: Chapters 116-120.

Tuesday, March 31st: Chapters 121-123.

Saturday. April 4th: Chapters 124-125.
