*Now an award-winning Apple TV+ series starring Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jack Lowden*
*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*
'Sets a new bar for spy fiction' Financial Times
****
In Slough House, the backwater for failed spies, memories are stirring, all of them bad.
Catherine Standish is buying booze again, Louisa Guy is raking over the ashes of lost love, and new recruit Lech Wicinski, whose sins make him outcast even among the slow horses, is determined to discover who destroyed his career, even if he tears his life apart in the process.
With winter taking its grip Jackson Lamb would sooner be left brooding in peace, but even he can't ignore the dried blood on his carpets. So when the man responsible for killing a slow horse breaks cover at last, Lamb sends his crew out to even the score.
This time, they're heading into joe country. And they're not all coming home.

Highly Entertaining
Like other books in this series, the book is funny, well written and fast paced.
Just as important, the narration is superb!

Don't Start Here...Get books 1 to 5 first
I've been waiting for the release of this book since last year. I had fears that it couldn't possibly live up to its predecessors but it was brilliant, as usual. Mick Herron is a master and works in some hilarious one-liners and that can't be easy when the topic (espionage) is so serious. Rich character development makes you feel like you know the main players. You'll be hooked after you start book 1.

Herron + Barrett = Genius
I have no idea if this is "literature" or not and don't much care. Herron's writing and Barrett's narration turn these novels into a wonderful listening experience.

I like this series about the slow horses
I like this series about the slow horses, Mick Herron's style of writing and Sean Barrett's narration are easy to listen to. His character developments provide solid background and the pace quickens as his plots become more mysterious and sinister. Jackson Lamb, River Cartwright and others continue their day to day drudgery at Slough House, as punishment for professional failure, with ocassional ventures into the world of real spies and espionage. This one, involving multiple murders, sees Cartwright's grandfather buried, his estranged American father return and Lamb manipulate a covert foreign agent. This series is in my library's top tier.

Another great book
I eagerly waited for the release of this book and it didn't disappoint. Of the few constant Slough House regulars, Jackson Lamb is king. He is that ingredient that makes this series great.

Time for a break ..
After dosing up on Mick Herron and the Slough House series I need a break.
The author buries the plot with his efforts to paint a detailed picture on ..everything - far too detailed in most instances. He could ramble on with a 5 minute discourse on the waste bin it would seems. (Pick ANY other object ..there are ample).
You could jump an hour in from the start - and not miss any of the plot. It takes a long while to fully develop.
And we find ourselves switching location / scene without a pause. Makes it hard to follow ....
The first couple of books in the series were great. But it is time to give it a rest for now.
