The Running Grave

A Cormoran Strike Novel

By: Robert Galbraith

Narrated by: Robert Glenister

In this New York Times bestselling installment of the Strike series, detective duo Cormoran and Robin must rescue a man ensnared in the trap of a dangerous cult.​

"Outrageously entertaining." —Financial Times

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

The best one yet

Oh, my God!! I literally could not put this book down. I read for over 10 hours yesterday, and it’s now at least 3 o’clock in the morning and I just finished this book. This book had suspense from almost start to finish. If you’re wondering how I finished it so quickly, I started out at two times speed. Then I moved to 2.5 speed. Then I eventually moved to 2.7 speed, and finally I listen to the last 40 chapters are so at 3.3 X speed. That’s not the point though. What I’m trying to say is this book is one of the best crime novels I’ve read in a while. At least, it’s the best modern crime novel I’ve read in a while. I’m obviously very tired and I’m not thinking clearly. All I can say is read this one. It’s really good.

I could not wait for this book.

It was disappointing. I felt it was the same old plot with some changes. Frankly, their relationship is getting boring!
Cheap ploy at the end.

Awesome

An awesome story, great compelling book as always, couldn’t wait to see how it all came together.. Can’t wait for the next one!

You won’t be disappointed!

If you’re expecting another great story about two great detectives, well, you won’t be disappointed!

❤️ Loved it

Third listen. Wanted to refresh my memory of the story and ending in anticipation of the release of the next book in the series. The story of the cult made me think of so many cults and how they operate. This is the audio version of a page turner. And it was nice to fall into the world of Strike while the real world faces far left and far right extremes, wars, etc. Every book in this series is better than the one before. Thanks to the author for a great story and great characters.
