Review: The Running Grave

The Running Grave (Cormoran Strike, #7)The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series continues to impress. Even after seven books, the characters continue to grow and develop. Strike and Robin make such a great team -- though I do get a bit annoyed at times with the way they misread each other's intentions/feelings of each other. Part of me wants them to just get together and be down with it already! But also, I really love how they care and respect each with out being romantically involved.

The story here gets quite intricate. Focused largely on a scientology-like cult, Strike and Robin are hired to get one of the members out. I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't say details. I wouldn't say things get slow or bogged down, but they do take a long time. But there is a point where I couldn't put it down. I had to keep listening.

Robert Glenister's narration is amazing; he really ought to win many awards.
