Welcome to Litsy!

Will try + do #20in4 @Andrew65 so today, + just finished another of the magnificent slow horses series. Jackson Lamb is a favourite character at the moment, altho in my mind, not Gary Oldman, so I won't be watching the TV series. Here, Slough House with a new resident is drawn into the hunt for some dodgy characters, while the normal secret service covers up for the establishment. Of course, any comparison to real characters must be coincidental

Brilliant book! I was trying to work things out all the way through (as well as laughing at the Boris jokes).

What is this? Charlie's Angels?

(This is very much not.)

This is a truly wonderful series. If you like spy stories--or even just great writing and characters who will become your friends--check these out, starting with Slow Horses. This latest entry has intricacies to delight as River, Louisa, and the other Slow Horses face new villains and old demons. Highly recommended!

The 6th in Mick Herron‘s JACKSON LAMB SERIES is slow to start and there is a sense of Herron snipping old plot strands in order to move players and events into place for the end game. However there‘s a lot of good character development – particularly Lamb – the plot, when it gets going, moves at a good pace, there are 3 character deaths (one‘s very sad) and the mysterious ending makes me desperate to find out what awaits Slough House next.

The Slough House series was a pleasant surprise when I first started it. Each one is so strong.
