Description

THE SEVENTH BOOK IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES BEHIND SLOW HORSES, AN APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES NOW STREAMING ON APPLE TV+ In his best and most ambitious novel yet, Mick Herron, “the le Carré of the future” (BBC), offers an unsparing look at the corrupt web of media, global finance, spycraft, and politics that power our modern world. “This is a darker, scarier Herron. The gags are still there but the satire's more biting. The privatization of a secret service op and the manipulation of news is relevant and horribly credible.”—Ann Cleeves, author of the Vera Stanhope series At Slough House—MI5’s London depository for demoted spies—Brexit has taken a toll. The “slow horses” have been pushed further into the cold, Slough House has been erased from official records, and its members are dying in unusual circumstances, at an unusual clip. No wonder Jackson Lamb's crew is feeling paranoid. But are they actually targets? With a new populist movement taking hold of London's streets and the old order ensuring that everything's for sale to the highest bidder, the world's a dangerous place for those deemed surplus. Jackson Lamb and the slow horses are in a fight for their lives as they navigate dizzying layers of lies, power, and death. Read more

    • I Couldn’t Put It Down
Format: Kindle
I’ve read five of the Slough House books in the last three weeks. They’re great. The plot of this one really grabbed me. I couldn’t put it down. If you’ve been watching the Slow Horses TV series and want to read the books, jump right in. Just close your eyes and pick one. They’re all great. The author Mick Herron does a good job filling in the reader on what’s happened in past books. The characters are lean and realistic. For example, all we know about Diana Taverner is she has piercing wit, nerves of steel and a ruthless constitution. No friends. No family to speak of. Her world and relationships revolve around her job and ambition. Sure, Herron could create an intricate history for her and all the other characters. But then these books would be 1000 page tomes that must be read in sequence. As is, each book stands on its own as a quick, entertaining read conveying exquisite cynicism. Liberals writing for newspapers are the clueless, feckless meek, who wouldn’t know how to wield power if they had it. Workers protesting in the street are ignorant, ineffectual and expendable pawns in a diabolical game of political chess. The politicians and spies think of themselves as superior but much of their “leadership” is venal, petty and cruel and tends to exacerbate political problems, not improve them. Good guys do not exist in these books, just fatally flawed personalities, humorous cynics and fiendish schemers. And, oddly, it’s what makes the books such delightful reads. We all love to hate — especially when it’s in a well written book, with plenty of pop culture references, clever diction, vulgar puns, despicable bigotry and eloquent prose. The ending of Slough House is a bit perplexing. The height of the action climaxes with a good twenty or so pages left to go, and Herron does not neatly tie up all the loose ends, leading me to believe some of the schemes will continue in the next book. But whether they do or not, I plan to keep reading and recommend that you do so as well. ... show more

    • Same Vein But Still Witty and Entertaining
Format: Paperback
The Slow Horses of Slough House once again find themselves a pawn in the great game of espionage and bureaucratic tussling. I'm guessing Mick Herron penned this latest in the series while the tide of Nigel Farage and the Keep-Britain-For -the-British was rising as this strain of UK populism and the attempt of regular pols to manipulate the movement is a centerpiece of the story. Now First Desk Diana Taverner once again is part of a scheme she believes she can control to an end she desperately covets. Of course things spin out of her control and land the misfit agents of Slough House in trouble again. This time they are targets of a revenge operation by "the other side" due to MI-5's successful take-out of a top agent. Jackson Lamb has to figure out what is going on and pull Taverner's coals from the fire again as his agents go off to "help" their cause in their own ways. A major figure from the early series makes a surprise reappearance which is one of the primary foci of the story. Once again a witty, clever and complex story of international and bureaucratic intrigue. Jackson Lamb is getting awfully predictable and repetitive in his scenes, but he is such a compelling character it hasn't bothered me yet the way it is bothering some reviewers. ... show more

    • "Smiert spionam"
Format: Paperback
Mick Herron's story of British espionage and political intrigue kept me reading well past bedtime. His humor and wit crept into the dialogue at frequent and unexpected moments. The wickedly funny character of Jackson Lamb is destined to be an icon in spy literature. Lamb is an alternately hilarious and disgusting career veteran of the intelligence service who has pissed off enough of his superiors that he has been put in charge of Slough House, a disgraced section of MI5. To qualify for Slough House an agent has to commit a screwup of sufficient magnitude that they are deported from MI5 headquarters at Regency Park. It is a place of desperation and despair where all inhabitants strive to return to "The Park," but no one ever has. The plot is intricate and superbly designed, pitting Lamb and his band of shamed "Spooks" against the first desk (i.e., the director) of MI5, Diana Taverner, and various Russian GRU agents. When media-billionaire Damian Cantor starts buying political influence from Peter Judd and expects return favors, Taverner finds herself in the unfortunate position of dealing with him. Judd is "a politician whose greed for power was so naked it required a parental advisory sticker." After a Russian agent is assassinated as part of a revenge plot arranged by Taverner and MI5, several former Slough House agents turn up dead. Lamb begins investigating, circling the wagons, and calling on his "slow horses" to redeem themselves before they end up dead. An adaptation of the book titled "Slow Horse" is now an Apple television series starring Gary Oldman. I've been binge-watching—it's excellent too. ... show more

    • Caution: have the next book to hand when you finish this one. A riveting series.
Format: Paperback
"Slough House" is the seventh book in the series of the same name, Slough House being the (fictional) place where MI5 relegates its failures and misfits, dubbed the Slow Horses. I sailed through it, only to crash on the shores of the final pages. I have no objectivity left, and can only say that I am helplessly addicted to the series and the characters. For those who've read this book -- spoiler warning -- an appeal to one of those favorite characters: Don't die. Five out of five assassin stars. About my reviews: I try to review every book I read, including those that I don't end up enjoying. The reviews are not scholarly, but just indicate my reaction as a reader, reading being my addiction. I am miserly with 5-star reviews; 4 stars means I liked a book very much; 3 stars means I liked it; 2 stars means I didn't like it (though often the 2-star books are very popular with other readers and/or are by authors whose other work I've loved). ... show more
