'Mick Herron is an incredible writer and if you haven't read him yet, you NEED to' Mark Billingham

Dieter Hess, an aged spy, is dead, and John Bachelor, his MI5 handler, is in deep, deep trouble. Death has revealed that the deceased had been keeping a secret second bank account - and there's only ever one reason a spy has a secret second bank account. The question of whether he was a double agent must be resolved, and its answer may undo an entire career's worth of spy secrets.

This is a lovely little 'amuse bouche' between main courses. John Bachelor is nobody's leading man but this is more than compensated for by the deliciously devious 'Lady Di' who is on top form - as usual. Well worth a credit.

A witty, sharp and entertaining series, I recommend they be read in sequence with this novella as a delightful extra.

The Jackson Lamb series is my new favourite

I love love love the Slough House books and this story has all the same backstabbing, self-serving characters we know and love plus a couple of newbies. Are they the hunters or the hunted? Read and find out!

Brilliant Mick Herron as always

Excellent as always - good bridge between two Slow Horses books - Jackson Lamb as terse as always - a real gem!

While it's a novella and therefore short, I still enjoyed the story and Sean Barrett's reliably fantastic narration. I also appreciate the small Easter eggs it offers in connection with the main Slough House books. I will be sure to read more of the novellas from now on

A Decent Bonus for Slough House Fans
