Fun little side quest in the Slough House universe with some more misadventures for John Bachelor and more conniving damage control from Diana Tavener. At 83 pages, it can be read in a few hours.

A nice little novella to temporarily calm the Slow Horses addicts while waiting for the next installment. I like the way these novellas (The Drop, The Catch) share some of the characters of The Park but are separate from Slough House. Nice job. But, when do I get my next Slow Horses fix?
