***WINNER OF THE THEAKSTON OLD PECULIER CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2022***

'A gripping thriller' Ian Rankin

****

Slough House - the crumbling office building to which failed spies, the 'slow horses', are banished - has been wiped from secret service records.

Reeling from recent losses in their ranks, the slow horses are worried they've been pushed further into the cold, and fatal accidents keep happening.

With a new populist movement taking a grip on London's streets, the aftermath of a blunder by the Russian secret service that left a British citizen dead, and the old order ensuring that everything's for sale to the highest bidder, the world's an uncomfortable place for those deemed surplus to requirements. The wise move would be to find a safe place and wait for the troubles to pass.

But the slow horses aren't famed for making wise decisions.

Jackson Lamb has to be my favourite character ever. Brilliantly British- sardonic, witty, classless, but does not give a _____ and is remarkable at what he does

brilliant as always

Once again, the literacy genius of Herron, presented by the fantastically talented Barrett, combine for this enthralling story. Loved it.

The brilliance continues

A good story but ending is flat with some unresolved issues. Clearly there is another one to come. This is more obvious than with previous stories. Thats always disappointing. Be warned... the ending seems inadequate.

Absorbing but....

What penalties apply, I wonder, to those who don’t leave reviews? My neighbours are wondering why I’m wandering around my garden, headset on, laughing. Read the book and you’ll understand. Witty, thoughtful, engaging…you get the idea

Brilliant
