Episode 1: Once Upon a Time in Denmark Street

We're back this week for a brand new season of The Strike and Ellacott Files, starting our reread of The Cuckoo's Calling! In this episode, we'll be covering prologue and chapters 1-3 of part 1. We meet our heroes for the first time, get introduced to the case that frames the novel, and spend most of the episode laughing about the sheer dramatic irony of it all. Our next episode will cover chapters 4-7 from part 1.
