About this listen

At Slough House - MI5’s London depository for demoted spies - Brexit has taken a toll. The “slow horses” have been pushed further into the cold, Slough House has been erased from official records, and its members are dying in unusual circumstances, at an unusual clip. No wonder Jackson Lamb’s crew is feeling paranoid. But are they actually targets?

With a new populist movement taking hold of London’s streets and the old order ensuring that everything’s for sale to the highest bidder, the world’s a dangerous place for those deemed surplus. Jackson Lamb and the slow horses are in a fight for their lives as they navigate dizzying layers of lies, power, and death.

In his best and most ambitious novel yet, Mick Herron, “the le Carré of the future” (BBC), offers an unsparing look at the corrupt web of media, global finance, spycraft, and politics that power our modern world.

The Best Yet

This is my 10th in the series and it is, I believe, the best yet. I am completely taken with these characters- all of them - but especially Jackson Lamb. Without doubt this book is my favourite by far.

Great writing, dark and suspenseful plot twists. laugh out loud dialogue and slimy bad guys. Who can ask for more?

Intriguing

Weird , well written and compelling. Love the humour in these novels. Not your standard fare, in part due to the quality of the writing, and a storyline which follows a cast of highly unusual people. Well worth a read.

No resolution

A “Cliff hanger” of this magnitude should be restricted to tv shows that keep you waiting for only one week, not a year until the next novel!!
I really like this series and this book had some great bits and some creative writing but I felt that the publisher had a deadline and said “Hey Mick, don’t care where you are with the writing but hand it over as is and we’ll go with what we’ve got”.
So I’ll wait a year to read the final chapter of this book and hopefully not end up frustrated with the next instalment.
Or not………

One of the best in the series

A very tangled web of.a story with returning lost friends and old enemies. The next step along in the series and an excellent book.
