Meanwhile, outside, Strike is following up links to Kevin Pirbright, who had escaped from the cult several years before, and had been in contact with Edensor. Auch die Frage, wieso ausgerechnet Robin Ellacott sich für diese Aktion als die Geeignetste auserkoren hat, wird so lapidar erklärt.

Overall, it's an excellent read, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in mystery and cults. Yes, these is a lot of info dumping, and the books stalls a bit due to excessive detailing but they were all important parts of the story, as the ending proves. His parents think he is being mistreated and exploited and want to get him out, but their attempts to bring the law to bear on the UHC have been unsuccessful.Inhaltlich dreht sich das Buch um eine ländliche Glaubensgemeinschaft, namentlich die Universal Humanitarian Church - kurz UHC -, die mit Frieden und Gemeinschaft wirbt, aber auch mit Ungereimtheiten und ungeklärten Todesfällen in Verbindung gebracht wird. There are multiple instances where references are made to previous books and these things are explained to the reader. Speaking after the release of the novel, Rowling described its main themes as "change, loss and absence" and that the book examines the "changing face of feminism". Private Detective Cormoran Strike is visiting his family in Cornwall when he is approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother, Margot Bamborough - who went missing in mysterious circumstances in 1974.

I think Troubled Blood is still my favorite in the series so far, but this one is probably runner-up. There are also some huge moments that had the hairs on my arms prickling up and making me gasp in shock.Die Auflösung der Geheimnisse um die Ertrunkene Prophetin ist irgendwie sehr konstruiert und ich hatte Schwierigkeiten, das alles für voll zu nehmen.

If not illegal, it at least corroborates some of the most hard-to-believe, allegations against the UHC. Nick Cohen, writing for The Spectator, argued that the transphobia accusations were baseless and slanderous, noting that Dennis Creed is investigated along with a dozen other suspects. I knew she had the necessary imagination and writing skills to create a new believable and terrifying religion so I was looking forward to see the results.Die Halbschwester von Strike, die im Vorgänger-Buch geheimnisvoll angeteast wurde, wird in diesem Buch nur als so als Mittel zum Zweck ausgenutzt.

Though, the actual outcome isn't as beguiling a twist, albeit much more elaborate, so it's a bit of a letdown.

In The Running Grave, Cormoran and Robin's romantic relationship appears to continue to be at an impasse as, through pure stubbornness at this point, Robin is now in a relationship with a police officer, Ryan Murphy, while Cormoran pursues a couple of meaningless encounters to distract him from his love for his work partner. But all of these personal issues come to a head when his former fiancée, Charlotte Campbell, very messily commits suicide. It is a shame that Rowling, after the first three excellent Strike ­novels, has allowed these books to become so ridiculously long; but The Running Grave is the first of the later, longer Strike books to at least partly justify its page-count.
