About this listen
London’s Slough House is where the washed-up MI5 spies go to while away what’s left of their careers. The “Slow Horses,” as they’re called, have all disgraced themselves in some way to get relegated here. Maybe they messed up an op badly, or got in the way of an ambitious colleague. Maybe they just got too dependent on the bottle—not unusual in this line of work. One thing these failed spies have in common, though, is they all want to be back in the action.
Now the Slow Horses have a chance at redemption. An old Cold War–era spy is found dead on a bus outside Oxford, far from his usual haunts. As the agents dig in to their fallen comrade’s circumstances, they uncover a shadowy tangle of ancient Cold War secrets. How many more people will have to die to keep those secrets buried?

Even better than the first.
A place for the screw ups to go But every dog has his day.
James Bond has nothing to worry about. A great read.

Great story
Something was wrong with the editing of the recording as some passages were read twice.

Mick Herron's original version of season 2 of SHs.
Love Gerard Doyle from the Adrian McKinty detective series reading Mick Herron's novels. This book is the original novel which is the basis for the season 2 of Slow Horses, and permits you to better understand the plot that is somewhat confused on TV though equally entertaining with Gary Oldman letting a few hot ones loose on the office couch of the always gorgeous, Kristin Scott Thomas (a reason women do not need to Botox!). This author is remarkable with an excellent slate of characters that are lovable and engaging. Will be "reading" or listening to the rest of the series in the coming year or so.

Superb dialogue 💥
I have recently been introduced to the stories of Mick Heron and I think he is a great novelist who knows how to use lively dialogue.

Excellent story, mediocre performance
Mick Herron is a superlative storyteller, it's a pity that the voice actor doesn't match in quality.
