Story
When Zoë Boehm agrees to track down the gang who knocked over Sweeney’s jewellery shop, she certainly doesn’t expect to wind up in a coffin. But she’s about to become entangled with a strange collection of characters, starting with suicidal Tim Whitby, who’s dedicating what’s left of his life to protecting Katrina Blake from her late husband’s brothers, Arkle and Trent. Unfortunately for Zoë, Arkle has a crossbow, Tim has nothing left to lose and even Katrina has her secrets.

Story
When a body is hauled from the River Tyne, Sarah Tucker heads to Newcastle for a closer look. She identifies the dead woman as Private Detective Zoë Boehm, but putting a name to the corpse only raises further questions. Did Zoë kill herself, or did one of her old cases come back to haunt her? Coincidence is an excuse that soon appears pretty unconvincing. Sarah can’t leave until she’s found the answers to her questions, however dangerous they might turn out to be.

Publisher's Summary
*Now a major TV series starring Gary Oldman*
Slough House is the Intelligence Service outpost for failed spies, former high-fliers now dubbed the 'slow horses'. Catherine Standish, one of their number, worked in Regent's Park long enough to understand treachery, double-dealing and stabbing in the back, and she's known Jackson Lamb long enough to have learned that old sins cast long shadows. And she also knows that chance encounters never happen to spooks, even recovering drunks whose careers have crashed and burned.
What she doesn't know is why anyone would target her.
So whoever's holding her hostage, it can't be personal. It must be about Slough House. Most likely, it's about Jackson Lamb. And say what you like about Lamb, he'll never leave a joe in the lurch.
He might even be someone you could trust with your life.

Herron at his best
Another fabulous Slow Horses” story; well crafted and read. Well worth the listen if you’re a Jackson Lamb fan - he’s particularly obnoxious and fabulous in this story.

Another Great Story from Slough House
Mick Herron has created a great evolving story that keeps you interested until the end. The flawed, rounded characters are believable and likeable and Jackson Lamb the best. Very clever, humorous quips from all the characters lift the whole spook theme from what can be very serious. I loved the idea that the Slough House itself appears to be an entity, aged, creaky and filled with secrets. Just loved it until the end. Sean Barrett is perfect, to narrate as I have found any book he reads. Highly recommended.

Mick Herron triumphs again!
Superb plot. More fleshing out of characters who’ve become as familiar and annoying as family. Brilliant English humour and even sharper dispatching from Jackson Lamb who’s surely become an iconic figure in modern spy fiction. Or should be!
And Sean Barrett continues to perform at a level of genius that has me replaying passages again and again. Just because I can. Because he is truly excellent!!!

Terrific
Jackson Lamb is the 21st Century Hercule or Sherlock.
As sharp as a laser bevelled tack and as disgustingly offensive as chunky cat sick.
This man deserves a new word, curmudgeon barely describes his big toe.
