I continue to enjoy making my way through the Slough House series. In REAL TIGERS, we have a member of the Slow Horses being taken captive for some unknown reason. Additionally, those in power are undergoing complex machinations that can't help but go awry. 

The main appeal to finishing this book (after having been introduced to the television miniseries) is that all titles going forward will have new-to-me content and plots.

I enjoyed this book. I appreciated spending more time with Katherine Standish, who is a compelling character.
