About this listen

*Now an award-winning Apple TV+ series starring Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jack Lowden*

'The finest British spy fiction of the past 20 years' Metro

'Masterful' Daily Mail

'A pulsating spy thriller' Daily Express

****

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.

One of the best espionage books ever written. Just superb. Herron is the unchallenged champion of the genre.

Iconic

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.

Herron at his best

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.

Another Great Story from Slough House

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!!!

Mick Herron triumphs again!
