'A terrific spy novel' Ian Rankin

****
Twenty years retired from the Intelligence Service, David Cartwright still knows where all the bones are buried. But when he forgets that secrets are supposed to stay hidden, there's suddenly a target on his back.
The 'Old Bastard' raised his grandson to be a hero, not a slow horse. Now, far from joining the myths and legends of Spook Street, River Cartwright is part of Jackson Lamb's team of pen-pushing no-hopers at Slough House. Which doesn't mean he won't ditch everything and go rogue when his grandfather comes under threat.
Lamb worked with Cartwright back in the day, and knows better than most that this is no innocent old man. So when a panic button raises the alarm at Intelligence Service HQ, it's Lamb who's called on to identify the body. And it's Lamb who'll do whatever's necessary to protect an agent in peril.
'Outstanding' Daily Telegraph

Excellent and enjoyable
Cleverly, intelligently and witty - totally engaging plot and characters. Masterfully performed - I couldn’t ask for better! Makes the Jack Reacher and clones look and sound like cartoon cutouts. I have watched the first two Slow Horses series on my streaming service and the book is totally consistent and equally engaging. I’m now hooked on the written books so will be purchasing and listening to every one in the series.

Wonderful
A thoroughly satisfying read. The characters are flawed and real and compelling. I loved it.

Perhaps the best book in the Slough House series so far
There are more twists and turns in this book than in a work of macramé. If you’ve read the previous books you’ll be developing real affection for the washed-up spooks of Slough House, and now it’s time for Mick Herron to shake us up with shocking events. As always Sean Barrett’s performance is absolutely superb and on song for every character.
And by the time this book comes to a conclusion you’ll be looking to download the next instalment.

Spooks, Joes and dark humour
What can I say, fantastic twisting and winding storyline, amazing characters, dark humour stitched together by a master narrator. Unmissable if you enjoy spy thrillers with a healthy dash of brilliance.

How did the River run?
Another great Slough House yarn from the master of British modern spy thrillers. The main characters, River Cartwright & Jackson Lamb, play in different parts of the fast moving adventure prompting fascinating questions. What happened to the young River? How will Lamb unravel the threads & achieve order out of mayhem. Yet again Herron manages to use superb conversation, plot twists & the dropping in & out of finely drawn characters to provide another highest quality mystery. Can’t rate it highly enough.

Great series - great narrator
This series continues to engage. It’s well written, the plots are always intriguing and the development of the characters is complex, but believable, led by the unique, Jackson Lamb. The occasional laugh out loud moment at the comments and management style of Lamb keeps the story moving. An excellent series.

Grimy, Grim and Great!
Herron draws you in to this sad bunch of lovers led by the repulsive-but-brilliant central character,Lamb.
wonderful black humour and unexpected twists
Rarely have I enjoyed any series as much.
Highly recommended.

superb story eloquently told
mick herron is a once in a lifetime author and this is a tipping point in this brilliant espionage series. not just a brilliant storyteller but a conjurer whose tricks include rabbits, and other beasts, out of hats.
