The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

So much happens in these books, it can be hard to keep track of it all. I don't remember any of the previous books having such a long section explaining the truth behind the mystery/crime - had to really focus through that to understand it. Great development of Cormoran and Robin's relationship and their business partnership. Looking forward to the continuation of the series.
