About this listen
*Now an award-winning Apple TV+ series starring Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jack Lowden*
'Mick Herron is the John le Carré of our generation' Val McDermid
'The best thriller writer in Britain today' Sunday Express
****
At Regent's Park, the Intelligence Service HQ, new First Desk Claude Whelan is learning the job the hard way.
Tasked with protecting a beleaguered Prime Minister, he's facing attack from all directions: from the showboating MP who orchestrated the Brexit vote, and now has his sights set on Number Ten; from the showboat's wife, a tabloid columnist, who's crucifying Whelan in print; and especially from his own deputy, Lady Di Taverner, who's alert for Claude's every stumble. Meanwhile, the country's being rocked by an apparently random string of terror attacks.
Over at Slough House, the last stop for washed up spies, the crew are struggling with personal problems: repressed grief, various addictions, retail paralysis, and the nagging suspicion that their newest colleague is a psychopath. But collectively, they're about to rediscover their greatest strength - making a bad situation much, much worse.
'Dazzlingly inventive' Sunday Times

Imagery and quips have been mastered
Mick has not let me down with this book, Lambs quips send me into chuckles eg calling a slow horse a dick head or do
I mean egghead lol.the descriptive poem-like prose especially at the end of the book is so evocative (dusk) I’m getting sad now as I’m moving too quickly through the series

A good listen
This is a good story with the old favourites from Slough house. Sean Barrett is a perfect narrator as always. I was disappointed that Mick Heron thought he should add his disgruntled thoughts of a certain famous, well thought of President that is pointless to add to or enhance the story.

Another brilliant Mick Herron and Sean Bartlett collab
I’m addicted to Mick Herron’s books. They are the best modern spy novels, especially when performed by the masterful Sean Bartlett.

A new favourite
Both the author and the narrator make this series a Favourite. Great plots, great characters, and the narration is excellent.
Binge-worthy.

Another great addition to Slow Horse family
As always enthralling story with more twists and turns then a twisty turney thing. Jackson and co deliver yet again. Narration is just wonderful, don’t leave this one behind.

Great twisting story with Lamb’s character being his usual obnoxious, entertaining, brilliant self. A great listen.

Set my teeth on edge.
I usually can't get enough of the Slough House books, and Sean Barrett's narration. However, with this one Barrett has changed the way he performs the voice of Jackson Lamb, arguably the central character of the series. His voice is irritatingly phlegmy and moist and Lamb sounds like he's about to wheeze his last at any moment. I had to struggle to get through the book because of the squelchy rumblings of Lamb. The story was worth it though; the best Slough House book yet.

Another stellar book / performance
I listened to this right after Spook St and enjoyed it just as much - Sean Barrett’s narration is brilliant and really brings the words to life.
Good storyline with enough twists to keep you guessing and well written characters.
