'The work of a master storyteller'

'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.

Stike really hitting his stride

The storyline was amazingly intriguing, gripping in parts when you just can't put the story down. Loved this one the best as Strike really does hit his stride in this story. It is very cleverly written as the growth of Strike's personality, and the development of his family connections are very well done.

The intrigue, twists and turns in the plot!

I did not guess until the very end, where this story would end.
Hoping to find out what happens next with Strike & Robyn detectives.

Great read

Really enjoyed
Like the Narration
Lots of characters names and sub plots so obviously as audio meant I couldn’t check back so May read printed version

The author has got the formula just right now

Each of the books in this series has been better than the one before. The author has a talent for identifying and capturing really interesting backdrops that the reader gets to explore alongside the two main characters. Having listened to all of the CB Strike series, this narrater in my mind has co-creator status of stories that produce a thoroughly enjoyable and compelling experience.
Long may this continue, but I suspect the storyline is getting close to its conclusion.

The ending was surprising

It was a little long in the beginning and slow to build up to the point

Story telling at its best

My favourite Strike book so far. I wish a lot of people around the world would read this book. A brilliantly woven tale that I couldn’t put down.
