The Running Grave

by Robert Galbraith

The Running Grave is the 7th book in Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling)’s Cormoran Strike series, one of the most enjoyable crime fiction series out there. It features Cormoran Strike, a British war veteran-turned-private investigator, and Robin Ellacott, who starts out as a temp but becomes his business partner. In The Running Grave, Robin goes undercover to join a religious cult on behalf of a client who is worried sick about his son. The books in this series tend not to be fast-paced thrillers, but get you into the daily lives of the main characters, with the plot/mystery driving the story forward. If you haven’t read any of the books yet, it’s best to start with the first, The Cuckoo’s Calling, published exactly a decade ago.
