Slough House

By: Mick Herron

Narrated by: Gerard Doyle

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.

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.

Curiouser and curiouser

Twists and more twists. But you do see it coming and now you have to read the next book.

Possibly best yet in Slow Horses series

Gripping from start to finish. As in his previous books there are lots of unexpected twists, turns, ... And an ending you won't see coming. Author does a great job of linking events in the book to people and events in real life. Great wit, suspense, and writing. Highly recommend. Narrator is outstanding.

Great writing and fantastic story!

I loved everything about this book, story, characters and narration 😍 I want to read/listen to everything by this author!

Narrator needs to stop chewing gum!

I really enjoy this series and the characters, but the narrator completely ruins it. His habit of chewing gum is so distracting. Sad that the review is focused on this issue versus the quality of the writing.

I’m a Sucker for this Stuff

This is just a whole bunch of nasty fun. Ease up, enjoy, turn off filters.
