________

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.

Long, but compelling

I started with apprehension of the many hours ahead, but was soon drawn in and fascinated by how this tale would unravel. The performance is outstanding. I preferred it to ink black heart, and back on track to looking forward to the next Strike Ellacott novel with anticipation!

another masterpiece by J K

lets hope this series will continue in such high quality as long ss possible. Simply Great.

Not an ordinary novel

You get swept into this dire warning about yet another of human perils, very human, very perilous. The beloved characters come out of it ever so admirable, deep, complex and brave. It is a universal tale set in a bleak surrounding, warmed by genuine love and care. Can't get enough of her writing, can't wait for the next chapter. Robert Glenister's performance is outstanding and brings all the nuances to life.

I was hooked from the first chapter.

This is the most recent of the series and I think the best. Robert Glenister reads this book magnificently and the book is too good to put down. The plot twists and turns and the characters are all brilliantly described and enacted. Please hurry up and write the next book.

Best Story Yet!

Brilliant plot, I really felt the fear and horror that Robin experienced during her time in the church. Also loved the relationship between Strike and Robin… can’t wait for the next book!

Brilliant

Enjoyed every moment of it, kept me listening for hours at a time. Phenomenally read, can’t wait for the next book.

Excellent … excellent

Excellent … nothing more to say to that . From the first minute to the last . Fantastic performance!

Penetrating Brilliance

Hard to say which of Joanne Rowling’s books are my favourite. Suffice to say that this is definitely one of her best… her exploration of the lure of cults is real and so sensitively portrayed… it’s a book I couldn’t put down! The narration is brilliant too. Highly recommend i

At last he sad it

Superb story, tangled as usual and very captivating. Was able to guess some things before the end this time.

A fine romance

Great storytelling but as always I got lost in the final run up…. Just wanting more robin and cormorant
