"The author, known for creating the Harry Potter series and who has since become notorious for her views on trans rights, fell just short of acclaim last year with her latest book, The Hallmarked Man. Penned under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, the crime fiction novel is the eighth in Rowling's Comoran Strike series, which follow the titular named detective and his partner, Robin Ellacott, in solving a murder."
"Despite landing in the UK's Top 50 upon its release, becoming the top-selling book in the series, it failed to reach the top 10 spot of the Sunday Times' bestselling list for 2025 overall, nor any other major bookseller in the UK. Galbraith's name was notably absent from UK sales charts published by Amazon, Goodreads, the Times' bookshop, and TGJones, formerly WHSmith. The book did appear in Waterstones' 2025 bestsellers list, but fell just short of the top 30, landing at number 32."
JK Rowling published The Hallmarked Man in 2025 under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. The novel reached the UK's Top 50 on release and became the top-selling title in the Comoran Strike series. The book did not make the Sunday Times' top 10 for 2025 and was absent from major retailer sales charts including Amazon, Goodreads, the Times' bookshop, and TGJones. Waterstones placed the title at number 32 in its 2025 bestsellers list. Julia Donaldson overtook Rowling as the UK's all-time top author by volume after selling over 3.1 million copies in 2024, according to Nielsen BookScan's TCM.
