'The new king of the spy thriller' Mail on Sunday

'Mick Herron is an incredible writer' Mark Billingham

****

From the Intelligence Service purgatory that is Slough House, where disgraced spies are sent to see out the dregs of their careers, Jackson Lamb is on his way to Oxford, where a former spook has turned up dead on a bus. Dickie Bow was a talented streetwalker once, good at following people and bringing home their secrets. He was in Berlin with Lamb, back in the day. But he's not an obvious target for assassination in the here and now.

On Dickie's phone Lamb finds the last message he ever left, which hints that an old-time Moscow-style op is being run in the Intelligence Service's back-yard. Once a spook, always a spook, and even being dead doesn't mean you can't uncover secrets.

Dickie Bow might have tailed his last target, but Lamb and his crew of no-hopers are about to go live.

Praise for Mick Herron's Jackson Lamb series:
The finest new crime series this Millennium
Mick Herron is the real deal
I can't wait to read what Mick Herron writes next
Surely among the finest British spy fiction of the past 20 years
Herron has the comedy and eye to rival Len Deighton
Herron may be the most literate, and slyest, thriller writer in English today
Delightful ... with a dry humour reminiscent of Greene and Waugh

As always an excellent narrative by Sean Barrett who smooth, rich voice eases the horrors of sudden death or near deaths.

Mick Herron's Slough House crowd, all of whom have lost the right to be active agents, are a bunch of losers and misfits resentful of their outcast status from the frontline spies or spooks in Regent's Park. Lamb's instincts and his "team's" fishing expeditions build a far from benign picture that, almost despite themselves, they rescue the City from the brink of disaster. Strangely or sadly, yet again they are unable to claim the credit or cover themselves with glory; they are the "Slow Horses" and unlikely to the heroes of any story or so Regent's Park think!

There is also a keen humourous streak that keeps you amused and laughing despite everything.

I am enjoying this series!

A small beginning to get to the bigger picture

This book is excellent and follows a complete series. The characters are rich and human beings in their actions .The story is easy to follow and understand but remains believable . The story teller has a voice which adds much. Easy listening.

An excellent listen

Nicely narrated but short gaps at times meant that it was easy to get confused about who or where the story was.

That said, it was well told and I did enjoy it

The line of events and all that leads to the final sections confirms that Herron is fully in control of his material and he is ably assisted by the ever reliable Sean Barrett in his compelling performance. Yes, the investment I made in the first slow horses novel was immediately apparent in this, and it really does show how you can get attached to the characters old and new. I was actually surprised how pronounced my feelings were. As a roller-coaster ride this novel has it all and more. For me, however, the plot was finally beyond what I judged reasonable to believe, and not being able to withhold my disbelief it becomes a four star audiobook, rather than a five.
