The Running Grave: Cormoran Strike Book 7

Product Information

Cormoran Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott are alike in many ways, but also couldn’t be more different; whether its their upbringings, their personalities, or even their outlook on life; but together they work as a seamless partnership; like most other successful crime-solving duos throughout history. Cormoran Strike was approached by Billy, a young man with a troubled past. He claimed to have seen a crime as a child, and Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott decided to investigate. As they searched through bustling London and a sinister manor house, Strike’s newfound fame caused complications in his professional and personal life with Robin. In the end, the case’s resolution provided them with a greater understanding of the truth. Or he particularly needs to take a big step before they are able to have the relationship people would like them to have.” Cormoran Strike, a private detective, was visiting his family in Cornwall when he was approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother who disappeared in 1974. Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott took on the case, even though solving a cold case forty years old seemed unlikely. As they investigated Margot’s disappearance, they uncovered a complex case with tarot cards, a serial killer, and unreliable witnesses. In the end, they realized that even cases decades old could be life threatening. IBH did precious little to resolve any of our earlier questions from previous books (except that we finally learn what Strike studied at Oxford). But I'm still going to start with questions raised in that book before reiterating the earlier ones, so there are spoilers ahead!

I am assuming bulrushes is a hint to coastal area. I do admit that I do not have any knowledge on England’s geography and what prompts the growth of bulrushes in any particular area. Sir Randolph with his money and connections managed to silence Leda, frame Whittaker and gain custody of Switch all in one fell swoop. Custody of Switch ensures no more questions from any other parties, and I am sure absence of interest in Switch’s well-being from Ted, Joan, Lucy and Strike only helped his agenda and keep matters contained. Another fan shared what we’re all thinking: “Robin and Cormoran: stop looking at each other like this if you’re not going to do anything about it!!!” Will any characters from IBH recur in Book 7 or beyond? (Flavia and Zoe feel like unfinished stories to me. And I'd like to know if Josh's condition improves.) Will Robin date Murphy or anyone else? Will Murphy being a recovering alcoholic open up the world of addiction and rehab for JKR to pursue?Do Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott finally get together in latest Strike novel, The Running Grave? Robin and Cormoran have been will-they-won’t-they for seven novels now, but do To try and get over the kiss, Cormoran starts a relationship with Madeline, a woman he knew through his ex-fiancée Charlotte. But he keeps the relationship secret from Robin. All across the USA, people are showing up dead. The deaths don't appear to be connected in any way until one particular death occurs and gets the Secretary of Defense's attention. He arranges for a task force to investigate. Strike will understand why Whittaker and Leda were a better match, leading Leda to take a firm step of marrying Whittaker. It’s been brilliant to see the enormous success of the Robert Galbraith books over the past ten years and an honour to publish them. With over 11 million copies sold in the English language to date, the story of Strike and Robin has captured readers’ imaginations and, like so many others, I can’t wait to see what happens to them over the course of the final four books in the series.’ David Shelley, Group Chief Executive, Hachette UK

The book ends with a dramatic scene where Cormoran reveals to Robin that he broke up with Madeline. But as usual, they just miss each other. Fans are saying same thing about new Strike novel The Running Grave – but what's it all about? Written under the pen name Robert Galbraith, what are fans saying about the newThis fan agreed: “I love their friendship. To be honest I don’t want to see a romantic one between them.”

At the end of Troubled Blood, they FINALLY went on a date as Robin’s divorce was finalised, but it went no further than a kiss on the cheek. Could it be that these two troubled and damaged souls found solace in one another, one as an abuse survivor and the other finding himself as ‘result’ of abuse. Remind of you of anyone in this generation of Luna-Snape comparison? As fans continue to watch and read the series with the tension between Cormoran and Robin building again and again, they are left asking: will they EVER get together?
