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.

Robert Glenisters superb narration bought all the characters to life, what a talent. The story was gripping with great characters. I felt lost once it had finished which is always the sign of a great book for me. An epic listen.

I came to this book a little worried I’d not enjoyed the last Strike book so much. I think because it had been an audio book it didn’t sit well with the the pauses for text etc for me and I still don’t like the quotes in this audio book as it breaks the flow for me but this wouldn’t happen if I was reading, I think I’ve put that badly but I find it an irritation. Although I am a true lover of audio books.
The new plot I did enjoy. The narrator was great and the ending ie the last chapter left me wanting the next story so badly. Their love story is so beautiful. I now see the tv characters as Robin and Strike and love them.
I never usually write a review but I have listened to this in little pockets of me time joy. Even slept in different bedroom to my husband so I could listen without ear buds oh the dedication of a true fan!!! Loved it would recommend.

Of course I loved it!
