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.

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.

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!

Just finished - oh my god!!!
Yes, it’s definitely the best yet. Stunning and worth the investment of time. Glenister up to his usual excellent standard. I loved the I Ching references. Jeopardy and mystery. And an ending that’s…. well, you’ll see! When’s the next one?!?!

One of the best Strike novels of the series. Brilliant narration as usual and an enthralling story alongside the brilliant character development!

Loved it
One of the best books of this series, however sometimes it was difficult to follow all the characters. The narrator was really good.

The Best Strike Investigation Yet!
A real page turner. Ended up pulling a couple of all nighters. This latest investigation answers some questions buried in Strikes past. It sees Robin going deep undercover. Strikes relationship to Charlotte is finally well and truly over! And Robin and Strike have still not got it on…JKR next time please? Glenister’s Strike is better than TV show. Proper Cornish. Oh and thankfully no emojis in this one!
