The Running Grave

I am re-reading the Strike books.

Troubled Blood is awaiting me.

The only one I’m not keen to read again is The Ink Black Heart. If I do decide to tackle it again, I shall miss out all the tedious online messages.

They ruined it for me. Big mistake by the author, IMHO.

I quite enjoyed it, but for me the best in the series remains Troubled Blood which I loved.

I think it may be the best in the series, I thoroughly enjoyed it, her previous one, The Ink Black Heart was hard work for me.

Loved this book.

It really shows the scary side of how cults work by dehumanizing and breaking down the mental health of recruits - no sleep, not enough food, backbreaking work, strange rituals and unquestioning obedience to the leaders.

Even Robin is affected despite going in knowing it was a scam and not believing a word of the quasi-religious message

I ordered several months ago, so I got it the day it came out. It's a real page-turner, and I really enjoyed it There are bits that are very tense. As with the previous books (I get through them too quickly) eventually I will return and enjoy the story at a more sensible pace.

I’ve got it poised as I know once I start I’ll staying up to the small hours reading! We only read in bed or on holiday (don’t ask me why, habit I think).

Just read your comments.
Probably will get in to it, it was the background of ‘Church’ and emails that seemed long winded!

Hildegard check out 2023 Book Challenge second thread, both I and another poster recently finished it around the same time and have left our comments.

I think it may be a while before I get the chance. I am 37th on the reserve list at the library!
