I've just started The Running Grave for book group, we meet the third Saturday of the month. 1180 pages!! I've read all the previous ones and it's one of my favourite series.

The epigraphs at the start of each chapter remind me of the Susan Howatch books I read in my teens.

The Running Grave is the best one I think. I couldn't put it down.

I love the epigraphs, I go back at the end of each chapter and reread to make sense of it.

I'm a massive Strike fangirl!

The Running Grave is really quite something - you're in for a treat, albeit a very disturbing one in places.

@Latenightreader TIBH is one of my favourites too, along with The Silkworm - another less popular choice!

This is probably my favourite of this series along with Troubled Blood. Robin's character really develops and it's quite a nail biter.

I love the books but I also skip the epigraphs. I have a couple as audiobooks and wish I could skip them on that...

My (contraversial) favourite is The Ink Black Heart. She really understands the different angles of online fandom.

I've just finished the 5th one. JK is amazing, they're always so clever. (But I don't read the epigraphs!!)
