About this listen

What happens when an old spook loses his mind? Does the Service have a retirement home for aging spies who can no longer remember their secrets are secret? Or are senile spies taken care of in a different, more permanent fashion?

These are the paranoid concerns of David Cartwright, a Cold War–era operative and one-time head of MI5 who is sliding into dementia, and questions his grandson, River, must answer now that the spy who raised him sometimes forgets to wear pants. But River, himself an agent at Slough House, MI5’s outpost for disgraced spies, has other things to worry about. A bomb has detonated in the middle of a busy shopping center and killed forty innocent civilians. The “Slow Horses” of Slough House must figure out who is behind this act of terror before the situation escalates.

Wonderful!

Interesting and entertaining, as the whole series has been with characters you love to hate. I’m very anxious to get to the next one. Very imaginative author, a very skilful narrator.

Another Winner

I started with the first book in this series and now I’m on to the next - great narration and another good story. I did wish Lamb was a little more in the picture, still the addition of a few new characters and an exciting plot line more than made up for it.

Really enjoying this series of books. Start at the beginning and go through them all, it’s worth it.

Unparalleled

Le Carre would have appreciated the ministry and so called substandard ex ministry types— every one drawn in Daumier -sharp strokes. A brilliant series
Some laugh out loud moments.. others that nearly bring you to tears. I don’t want it to end

Love this series!

As always, Jackson Lamb does not disappoint. I might like home more than Bond, James Bond.

All good

I’ve been listening to the series and I’ve grown quite attached to the characters. The stories are surprising and seem authentic (of course, how would I know what British Intelligence is really like). I’ve even grown to love the narrator. His voice is so unruffled and so, so British.

DUH????

Not my fav writer. Much prefer Adrian McKinty. Gerard Doyle narrates those as novels as well.
