Why did I love this book?
Regardless of one's feelings towards J.K. Rowling, her prowess as an author is undeniable. Under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, she brings us The Running Grave, another masterstroke in the Cormoran Strike series.
Strike and Robin Ellacott stand out as two of the most brilliantly crafted modern detectives. Yet, amidst their sleuthing brilliance, they remain palpably human, prone to relatable errors that only enrich their depth. This time, they're plunged into the dark world of a cult, weaving a narrative that's nothing short of captivating.
I’m the kind of mystery reader that when I think I know what's going to happen I get frustrated and start skipping pages. I read every word of this and was sad when it ended. A contender for the best read of the year, it's a must for lovers of mystery and character-driven tales.
