The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith

5.0

One of the best installments in this series, especially after the previous one (The Ink Black Heart) which I considered below average. Although the book is long, it moves along quickly and is very thorough with filling in the key characters without going overboard and excessive. The puzzle solution is shared with the reader as the investigators continue to uncover details over meetings with people involved with the events. Strike comes up with a solution which is a little bit of a surprise. The case wraps up leaving few loose ends. In parallel to the plot is the underlying relationship between Strike and Robin. This read is recommended, but the reader should be familiar with at least a couple of the previous books to get more out of this one.
