Publisher's summary

In the seventh installment in the Strike series, Cormoran and Robin must rescue a man ensnared in the trap of a dangerous cult.

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 organization 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 among its members. But in doing so, she is unprepared for the dangers that await her there or for the toll it will take on her. . .

Utterly pulse-pounding, The Running Grave moves Strike's and Robin's story forward in this epic, unforgettable seventh installment of the series.

Corm and Robin solve another one!

JKR really is a good writer. Love her stories and characters, and Glenister brings them to life so well. Great listen!

Overly complicated but still good

I love the Strike series, and Robin and Strike's dynamic is dynamite. But this plot is overloaded with unnecessary characters and red herrings. And the end to the case is too complicated.

Incredible!

Who doesn’t love a good cult story?!? Perfectly encapsulates what radical feminists are up against. I read the ridiculous reviews trying to say that she’s “fat shaming” by writing how it’s prevalent in our society? Also the non-binary reviewer is unable to understand the appeal of Strike to straight women because he’s “grumpy”? He’s “grumpy” when he’s hungry or when Ryan’s around & it’s “bloody” hilarious. I was nervous when I thought I was at the end of the book & subsequently thrilled when I had 5 hours to go. I don’t understand people who are complaining about the length, honestly I wanted to listen to all of the trials as well. About to listen for a 2nd time. Give us more!!! 💕 In sisterhood. 💞

Glenister, as always, is pitch perfect

I’m always glad to be in the company of Robin and Strike, but I found this book a bit ponderous. It didn’t tell me anything I don’t know about cults. As always, Glenister is pitch perfect.

I ❤️ Strike and Robin

I cannot wait until the next comes out! I just love these characters and stories so much! Just like the other books, I had no idea who “did it” until the very end. Fabulous book, fabulous narrator.

Suspenseful

We’ll researched, complex, and very tense at times! Very engaging. Another excellent Cormorant Strike novel. The author is in a class by herself in terms of the complexity of her characters and research into her subject.
