About this listen

'The work of a master storyteller'
Daily Telegraph

'One of crime's most engaging duos'
Guardian

THE SUNDAY TIMES CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2023
________

Private Detective Cormoran Strike is contacted by a worried father whose son, Will, has gone to join a religious cult in the depths of the Norfolk countryside.

The Universal Humanitarian Church is, on the surface, a peaceable organisation that campaigns for a better world. Yet Strike discovers that beneath the surface there are deeply sinister undertones, and unexplained deaths.

In order to try to rescue Will, Strike's business partner Robin Ellacott decides to infiltrate the cult and she travels to Norfolk to live incognito amongst them. But in doing so, she is unprepared for the dangers that await her there or for the toll it will take on her . . .

Utterly page-turning, The Running Grave moves Strike and Robin's story forward in the epic, unforgettable seventh instalment of the series.

Love them more than ever

I've waited sooooo long for this book and as usual Robert Rowling ;) did not disappoint, Robert glenisters Scottish accent needs a bit of polishing but overall love the narration and the depth of the characters. The cult literally made me think I was watching panorama or that I have seen a show on this exact "church" which gives credence to Rowling's thorough research and bringing alive of such institutions. When I see negative reviews and suggestions of a new editor, I wonder which of these armchair critics have made a billion pounds plus from their literary genius and what gives them the audacity to put the editorial down? Perhaps they would like to edit?? Anyway a review is a review but can't stand it when it verges on trolling!!!

Fantastic

I do not agree with any of these negative reviews..in fact I do not believe these people have either read or listened to it..
Robert Glenister does his usual amazing voices, and the story is fantastic..these things do happen and to get it right you need to get down and dirty, this is not a fairytale it is real life and this book is totally on point..loved it.

These books get better and better!

With each book being published, I am getting more addicted to the characters and their stories. I love how relatable and real this book is. The places, situations, and characters in the book are described in a way that you start to believe they are real! I am big fan of the series and I can see how each new book gets better and better. The narrator is fantastic, I've always enjoyed his take on characters voices and accents. Great work Robert!

Just finished - oh my god!!!

Yes, it’s definitely the best yet. Stunning and worth the investment of time. Glenister up to his usual excellent standard. I loved the I Ching references. Jeopardy and mystery. And an ending that’s…. well, you’ll see! When’s the next one?!?!

Of course I loved it!

I came to this book a little worried I’d not enjoyed the last Strike book so much. I think because it had been an audio book it didn’t sit well with the the pauses for text etc for me and I still don’t like the quotes in this audio book as it breaks the flow for me but this wouldn’t happen if I was reading, I think I’ve put that badly but I find it an irritation. Although I am a true lover of audio books.
The new plot I did enjoy. The narrator was great and the ending ie the last chapter left me wanting the next story so badly. Their love story is so beautiful. I now see the tv characters as Robin and Strike and love them.
I never usually write a review but I have listened to this in little pockets of me time joy. Even slept in different bedroom to my husband so I could listen without ear buds oh the dedication of a true fan!!! Loved it would recommend.

Loved it

One of the best books of this series, however sometimes it was difficult to follow all the characters. The narrator was really good.
