The Running Grave

Riveting (…) a tale of how the human desire for approval, validation and a sense of purpose can sometimes lead us astray (…) The Running Grave is testimony to Galbraith’s skill as a storyteller * GUARDIAN *Moving, gripping and terrifying * DAILY MAIL *A rich, immersive experience * SUNDAY TIMES *The kind of book you are happy to lose yourself in * SCOTSMAN *A pleasure * OBSERVER *The best duo in detective fiction since Reginald Hill’s Dalziel and Pascoe * TELEGRAPH *Another absolute barnstormer … Unmissable * HEAT *This is definitely one of the year’s best reads, and all the more pleasurable because it’s such an immersive experience * SUNDAY TIMES CULTURE (Best Crime Novel of 2023) *The Running Grave is pure joy – Sophie Hannah * Mail on Sunday *The genre of crime fiction is such a wide one… it’s often difficult to pin down which books are the best. However, THE RUNNING GRAVE by Robert Galbraith is a front-runner by any, and every, standard … [it] isn’t just a gripping mystery but a brutal glimpse into how cults work. [Galbraith] nails the slow burn of indoctrination and how even those of “sound mind”, intelligence and even scepticism, can find themselves trapped – Anne Cunningham * Sunday Independent *
