I'm probably a minority here but in my opinion the story is only intriguing up until the protagonists in a story declare their love for each other. So if the 2 main characters get together then the story is over because the dynamic changes.
This is the basis of all romantic fiction.
if JK is going to continue writing any more books about them then they can't be together properly (something has to keep them apart). She moves the romance very slowly forward in each book because of this principle.

I think it might work out to have them as a couple, BUT something else then needs to be a basis of the romance not moving forward at speed or that they need to work out.
Personally, I think we might get to see Robin working out that Murphy isn't her guy in the next book and working up to the break-up, but it will take her time. she seems like a person that knows this isn't working, but will try to make it work first.

Edited to get the spoiler working - my first spoiler! I am so capable. I am Robin.

My guess is Robin will get rid of Murphy, but then the relationship stalls before it properly gets going - because Robin does something reckless and Strike goes OTT being over protective.

But maybe not all of that in one book. I agree with others that it will take a while.

I’m agreeing with all possibilities so far, could see them all happening.

And that's great because it means the storytelling and characters are multidimensional, we can all see valid behaviours that might happen. It's not a preset one-track story.... the queen of backstory and characters is at it again. Gotta love JKR.

New thread for those who admire JK Rowling for her excellent writing, wit, charity work and for standing up for women's rights against the madness. This is an appreciation thread. This thread is not for anyone who wants to use daft words like 'transphobe' and thinks men can magically become...
