Story
When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case.Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger...

Publisher's 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.

The perfect new instalment
I feel like I definitely noticed an improvement between this book and the last, with the characters finally truly moving towards life as we know it in 2023. It was less over-explained than the tech heavy “the ink black heart” and by trying less it was so much more. The same themes that we know and love from the strike series, the same huge tangle of threads to unpick, but the detectives all had some growth and I was so onboard for the whole thing. Performance was spot on, consistent with the rest of the series.

A Satisfying Continuation Of The Story
If you've enjoyed the previous instalments, you'll enjoy this. The narrator is as outstanding as ever, making it feel like you're back with old friends. Though I enjoyed the Ink Black Heart, I understand why some found the angle of an online mystery and all the chat message dialogue a bit of a strain. This book returns to an in depth and sinister mystery/mysteries from the past, and satisfies like the previous stories.

The Ink Black Heart was a low point in the series but this book is simply brilliant. A long book but goes along at a good tempo with many layers to Strike’s life involved. Impeccably read as well. Superb experience for the listener.

Fabulous narration saves the day
Fabulous narration yet again which really makes this novel
Tedious detail re the preachings of the cult along with so much unnecessary repetition of old facts pertaining to the character’s history, as well as an artificially protracted and predictable dialogue around the love interest, made for arduous listening but the narration is great and so I stuck with it to find out whodunnit but not sure I could suffer through another one!

Finally, moving on
This book was much less tedious than the previous. The story kept up my interest and it was pleasing to see the development of Strikes character, in particular. It was so long, I almost lost the thread of the plot. The tension that built up at the end of Robyn’s stay in the church was incredible. There is a lot of repetition in this series. They could do with a really good edit! However, I care about the characters and look forward to continuing their story. JCM

Long-form Agatha Christie
I'm not sure if I've just not read enough mysteries but this series more and more echoes Agatha Christie for me, except for the interplay between Strike and Robin of course. A solid entry and compelling mystery but probably a bit long in getting to its conclusion... not that I'm really complaining. How long before the next one "Mr. Galbraith"?

Love them more than ever
I've waited sooooo long for this book and as usual Robert Rowling ;) did not disappoint, Robert glenisters Scottish accent needs a bit of polishing but overall love the narration and the depth of the characters. The cult literally made me think I was watching panorama or that I have seen a show on this exact "church" which gives credence to Rowling's thorough research and bringing alive of such institutions. When I see negative reviews and suggestions of a new editor, I wonder which of these armchair critics have made a billion pounds plus from their literary genius and what gives them the audacity to put the editorial down? Perhaps they would like to edit?? Anyway a review is a review but can't stand it when it verges on trolling!!!

Fantastic
I do not agree with any of these negative reviews..in fact I do not believe these people have either read or listened to it..
Robert Glenister does his usual amazing voices, and the story is fantastic..these things do happen and to get it right you need to get down and dirty, this is not a fairytale it is real life and this book is totally on point..loved it.

Best yet.
Well written, plotted and read!! Loved every page.
All too often I have a 10 hour book and I’m bored by hour five. On close examination it’s usually because there’s insufficient content and more padding than a drag artists bra. This book was tight, tense and a delight. No waffle to hide plot bloopers just pure story. The relationship between Strike and Robin is dealt with in an honest, unmushy way, it’s believable which is more than can be said for a lot of authors. Loved it.

Loved it
I've listened over 3 days (work gets in the way 😉). At the end of the first day, I was astounded I was 10 hours in and had not been bored for a second. Yes, it is detailed and demanding, but the writing is tight and engaging with no extraneous fluff. Over the last three days I've through all the emotions from disgust and incredulity to joy and relief.
I'm off for my second listen now...
To those who find it boring or too long: stick with short instant gratification novels. They have their place.
To those who criticise the narrator: I challenge you to do a book reading...

These books get better and better!
With each book being published, I am getting more addicted to the characters and their stories. I love how relatable and real this book is. The places, situations, and characters in the book are described in a way that you start to believe they are real! I am big fan of the series and I can see how each new book gets better and better. The narrator is fantastic, I've always enjoyed his take on characters voices and accents. Great work Robert!

Disappointing and repetitive
I genuinely feel like I’m still listening to the last book, IBH. JKR wears her research heavily. It all feels plodding, even the attempts at lighter moments. I’m actually bored of Corm and Robin themselves and Corm especially was a great character. I’m four hours in and giving up, but I was losing concentration from the start.
I liked Glenister’s narration for the first five. But his style for reading correspondence (letters here, all those texts and forum posts in IBH) is so robotic, it doesn’t work. Am also finding his ropey Yorkshire accent for Robin increasingly grates.
I just had a look at the newspaper reviews and agree: JKR needs a much better and more confident editor.

Absolutely brilliant!
Ignore the negative reviews. If you love Strike and Robin you will love this book!
Brilliantly read by Robert Glenister as always this story has it all. I found the chapters where Robin was in the cult really creepy and foreboding - and all far too plausible! And that ending, suffice to say I can’t wait for the next one!

Worth the wait
Listening to this book, I forgot to breathe a few times. The description of Robin's expeeience in the Universal Humanitarian Church, the looming presence of evil all around, invokes a rather uncomfortable claustrophobic feeling and I was more than glad for the existence of the subplot that allowed me to breathe property again! Despite its size, the book was as long as it had to be. It didn't drag, and it was not repetitive. If anything, when I reached the end (and despite its nicely tied ending) I wanted more. What a brilliant story, totally worth the sleepless nights.

Another cult book
I’m giving up on this and hoping to get a refund. It’s dull and unoriginal I’m afraid to say. More of the same old stuff about a cult…. Yawn
