Another great read from Mr Herron! My fantastic Slow Horses are back with yet more dramas and crimes to solve.
I think what I really enjoy about this series is the fact that the books keep me guessing as it’s never clear from the outset how it’s going to end. There’s so many twists and turns in them that it keeps me on my toes, but it’s not too confusing so I don’t lose track of what’s going on.
This book see’s one of Lamb’s ‘Joes’ kidnapped and faced with choosing which of her fellow ‘Slow Horses’ she’d trust with her life...... a tough choice since they are all MI5 ‘rejects’.
Brilliant storyline and it was great to see the newer characters developing more and delving deeper into our regular Slow Horses lives.

I reread this late Aug/early Sept 2023 after reading Standing Beside the Wall and before (finally) watching Slow Horses season 2. I was thinking this was the book that continued a particular plot line in one of the stories from SBtW, which is why I set out to reread it, but I was wrong. I wouldn’t make it one day at the park
