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.

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. Cozy International Mystery & Crime Private Investigators Mystery Exciting Scary

Absolutely amazing that a writer can keep a person interested and on the edge of their seat for 30+ hours. I didn’t want it to end. And the narrator!!! He makes the book!! Hands down best narrator I’ve heard. Can’t wait for book 8

So good I’m grieving it’s finished

The last three pages of the book were worth reading the whole rest of it. I have read 7 books waiting to hear Strike say those words!

The ending was so great!

Every new installment in this series I think, "this is my favorite." And this is no exception. I loved it from start to finish even though my heartached so much for so many of our beloved characters. ❤ This was gripping and intriguing. The UHC was so well written. I 100% recommend!

Perfection

The stakes are very high for this book, given what Strike and Robin are up against, as the UHC reminds me a lot of the People's Temple. Robin goes through hell to get what info the agency needs, and thankfully makes it out. The author and narrator are both in fien form as always. While the Ink Black Heart was good, I felt it wasn't as intense as some of the others in the series, and this one makes up for that in multiple ways.

Much more intense than the last one

It took me 3 days to listen to this and it was worth every second. As always, the narrator does a fantastic job with the voices and inflections. Several times I cracked up at the "giggles" he would do, it was almost better than reading.

The story itself is in the caliber of Troubled Blood, my favorite of the series, which is now tied with this last book. I loved it so much, and thought to myself (just like with Troubled Blood) "this book is so f-ing good." I didn't see two separate plot twists near and at the end, Robin's character growth was great, Strike's coming to terms with a couple of different emotions he has regarding things I shall not spoil, and some truly disgusting baddies make for an epic inclusion to the series. The last few paragraphs had me squealing, and although a lot of people won't like the way it ended in terms of the "cormoran/robin romance arc", I myself love a good cliffhanger and it left me extremely excited for the next book. After listening to the last sentence I rolled over and shook my husband in excitement, whom, as it was midnight, was a little resentful.

I highly recommend this book, in fact I've already recommended the series to a friend, who is just as enthralled with Strike and Robin as I am. Finally, I have someone to gush to. I highly recommend listening to the book on audio and savoring it.

As Good As Troubled Blood!
