A drop, in spook parlance, is the passing on of secret information. It's also what happens just before you hit the ground. Old spooks carry the memory of tradecraft in their bones, and when Solomon Dortmund sees an envelope being passed from one pair of hands to another in a Marylebone cafe, he knows he's witnessed more than an innocent encounter. But in relaying his suspicions to John Bachelor, who babysits retired spies like Solly for MI5, he sets in motion a train of events that will alter lives.

I’d skipped the .5 novellas between the Slough House series of books, but I am reading them now, having finished Joe Country, and arriving at another 1/2 book in the series. The List and The Marlyebone Drop have provided needed background to several stories in the main series. It is cost effective on Audible to pay for these in cash rather than credits as they are appropriately priced as cheaper than a credit.

Must read for Lech’s real story!

I don't remember whether it was 1.5 or 2.5, but I thought the story really good...almost a shame that it wasn't continuing. How serendipitous it was for me to discover at the beginning of this book that it was! I love the narration and the plot is always solid.

Love the continuation of the last short story

Another little short one to flesh out the other short one, The List. With The Catch to follow
As usually clever satirical funny writing. Nice plot twists. It’s short but satisfying.

Another nice one.

His cup runneth over, truly. This little short story is clean & tidy but still pulls at the seams - it’s not just unpredictable, it also packs a surprising punch in the last five minutes – I can’t put down his stuff… Ask

Mick Herron is so clever!

I love getting deeper into main characters from the Slough Series. It helps see the story from another perspective.

Not being familiar with this book series, it was hard to feel like I was getting to know the characters, etc. I will need to read a book length.

Short but interesting

I hope that this is the background for a new character who will join Slough in the next full-length book! Great confluence of events that bring down all the wrong people. While listening, forgot it was a short and felt cheated of the next part that might fix a few parts… :)

Great short!

This short story is interesting and helpful to know when listening to the next book, but not required. As usual, Mr. Herron does an excellent job keeping your interest up.

sets the stage for Joe Country

This is another clever story - and surely more enjoyable if you've read the whole series so you know all the players and the context.

Always entertaining

I was surprised when it ended. I thought that the author was just laying groundwork.

Shorter than I expected
