Join John and Nick as they tackle a controversial subject. Using the âlake and shedâ analysis of J. K. Rowlingâs compete cannon to understand if Robin Ellacott might turn out to be sterile.
The thesis is that Robin Venetia Ellacott will not have children with Murphy, Strike, or any other partner, because she cannot, at least not without some extraordinary efforts via in vitro conception and surrogacy. John tried in his Substack post a month ago to explain how this infertility is possible, to detail the âLakeâ suggestions from Rowlingâs life and personal experience that shows she is more than familiar with this condition among women, and to share the âShedâ literary markers in Running Grave and Rowlingâs other novels that this is indeed what she has in mind for Strikeâs partner Robin.

Welcome to âRowling Studies,â a Hogwarts Professor podcast!
In the pilot episode, Nick Jeffery and John Granger discuss the aim of âRowling Studiesâ before jumping into a conversation about Nickâs theory that Charlotte Campbell did not commit suicide in Running Grave but was murdered. Their choice of methodology in exploring this speculative subject â âLakeâ biographical exploration (Simon Peter did it!), âShedâ artistry (structure!), intertextual allusion (Romeo and Juliet!), and a look across the full canon of Rowling work â is precisely their point, but they make a pretty compelling case that Strike really blew it in his Epilogue interview with Emilia Crichton.
Nick and Johnâs full written discussions of the mysterious death of Charlotte Campbell can be read here and here.
