lindsaynixon 's review for:
The Running Grave
by Robert Galbraith
I love Strike & Robin so any chance to spend any amount of time with them makes me happy and greedy as I am, I was thrilled to have 34 hours.
Overall, I liked this installation far more than the last one, but not as much as the earlier books in the series. I have to applaud JKR and her ability to write epics. The amount of thoughtful detail is, as always, impressive. I also experienced my heart beating fast at times, as if what was happening to Robin happened to me. It boggles my mind just how much JKR transports me somewhere else entirely and makes me truly feel like I'm there, as part of the character. She is alone with this gift, as far as I've ever experienced after reading nearly 3,000 books in my lifetime.
The last book left me rather hungry as there wasn't much Strike or Robin. In this book, Robin really shines and most of the book involves following one of them. Based on the ending and something else that happened as a side story, I feel reasonably certain there will be a #8 but I also fear it may be the last installment (I'm crying already).
The subject matter/case for this book involves a cult. It felt like a cousin to scientology ;)
The narrator deserves an audible award for performance.
If you love this series, or either character, do read this book.
Lastly, while this could be read as a stand alone, I'm not sure it would be as enjoyable. It would probably feel rather long
