Summary
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...
Unstoppable, The Running Grave moves Strike and Robin's story forward in the epic, unforgettable seventh instalment of the series.

Best Strike novel yet
Gripping story about a very disturbing subject. well written & whilst shocking in places it really sets you thinking about how so called cults prey on & manipulate people. Full of twists & turns especially in the last few chapters. Despite being quite long found I couldnt stop listening as the story moves along at a real pace. Cant wait for the next instalment!

Absolutely brilliant! The best Strike novel so far.
This is a really riveting read. The Agency take on a client whose son has broken all contact with the outside world and become indoctrinated into a quasi religious cult. In order to assess the son’s well-being, Robyn volunteers to infiltrate the cult undercover. As Robin becomes more deeply embedded into this community the emotional, physical and psychological toll on her increases. She is challenged at every level by the power of the cult and it’s charismatic, narcissistic leaders and we witness her struggle to retain her sense of justice and her connectedness to Strike. It’s a masterfully written, very triumphant book. I absolutely recommend it.

Loved it!
I have been completely immersed in the Strike and Robin world for the last 3 days. It was difficult to turn this book off and do everyday things like talk to my family.
Despite the multitude of characters introduced, I never felt lost, which is a testament to the character development and the narrator's ability to give each character a distinct voice.
I'm grateful for such a lengthy and absorbing listen. I will be listening again for a second go in the the next few days to pick up on all the clues I missed first time round.
Loved it!

Fantastic
Another epic case for Cormeran and Robin. Well written and very emotive. Couldn't put it down. Some intriguing characters and liking the character development of the sub contractors to. Pat and Dennis, what a couple?

A wonderful tour-de-force. The Strike series just gets better and better!
Absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed every minute of this thrilling, complex, tense and compelling instalment in the Strike and Robin series. Loving these long books, and every minute that’s spent in Strike’s world. I was genuinely scared for Robin! Didn’t see the ending coming. Wow. Huge thanks to the immensely talented author and to the narrator for their amazing work. Can’t wait for the next book — it’ll be on my pre-order the moment it’s available.
