Rachael’s Review
Private Investigators Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott take on another case in the 7th book of the series. A worried father seeks Strike’s help in extracting his son from a religious cult in Norfolk. When Strike uncovers sinister secrets and unexplained deaths, Robin infiltrates the group undercover, a task that might be much more dangerous than she anticipates.
Fans of the Strike series will absolutely love J. K. Rowling’s latest entry. As with the rest of the series, the developing relationship between Strike and Robin is well-done and leaves you coming back for more. However, The Running Grave delights with one of my favorite cases of the series, an in-depth look at a religious cult. The extreme length of the book actually felt justified this time, allowing Robin to fully dive into her undercover assignment. If you aren’t a fan yet, it’s not to late to pick up a copy of The Cuckoo’s Calling.
Publisher’s Description
In the seventh installment in the Strike series, Cormoran and Robin must rescue a man ensnared in the trap of a dangerous cult.
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 organization 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 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.
