The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith

2.0

Honestly, quite a disappointment. I've given it two stars only because I liked the cult setting, and I think some descriptions were well written, but the rest of the book was just really annoying. Rowling's characterisations are awfully stereotypical, as she's often blamed for, but clearly the criticisms don't affect her. The dialog, especially when she's trying to emulate accents is downright unreadable. Strike is like a wannabe Harry Hole. The book, the characters everything was just weak. I've really enjoyed some of the earlier Strike books, (except the one right before this, that was completely unreadable), but this was a complete disappointment. Would not recommend
