THE RUNNING GRAVE Cormoran Strike, Book 7

Series narrator Robert Glenister is spot-on delivering Book 7 in this popular series. PI Cormoran Strike is thinner and almost alcohol-free, while his work partner, Robin, is romantically involved with a hunky cop. They're hired to search for a man being held against his will within the Universal Humanitarian Church, a religious cult whose members keep disappearing. Robin goes undercover in the UHC and discovers horrific conditions: torture, rape, starvation, and murder. Glenister knows the characters well and slips easily in and out of immediately identifiable voices. He teases listeners as Cormoran and Robin remain paralyzed over their feelings for each other, but he's straightforward and terrifying as the danger Robin faces increases and tension mounts. This is definitely one of the best in the series. S.J.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2023]
