Summary

'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.

Best Strike novel yet

Gripping story about a very disturbing subject. well written & whilst shocking in places it really sets you thinking about how so called cults prey on & manipulate people. Full of twists & turns especially in the last few chapters. Despite being quite long found I couldnt stop listening as the story moves along at a real pace. Cant wait for the next instalment!

The best one yet

Like many other reviews, I couldn’t stop listening. It totally pulled me in with all the plots, stories and characters. Robert Glenister is, as always, brilliant as the narrator. Really hope it won’t be long until the next instalment- especially because of the ending and leaving you wanting more.

Wow, wow, wow

In my opinion, the best so far in this remarkable series. Wonderful narration by Mr. Glenister again but, oh boy, I bet he was tired by the end. The only reservation I can drag up is that it will be 2 years before we experience the next personal step for Robin and Strike.
Well done J.K. and just keep 'em coming. Please??

Best Strike and Robin Yet

It's a long book but I was sad it was finished. I thought the Ink Black Heart was too long but not so this one, the storyline made the difference for me. I had my heart in my mouth a couple of times, excellent story and narration I thought.

I'm going to download Cuckoo's Calling now and re-listen.
