DESCRIPTION:
"YES READ THIS SERIES" according to billmilosh. The Slough House series gets better and better as you go, and it started out just great. Many thanks to the Seattle librarian who recommended the read. It bounces between high literature and low comedy (or is it the other way round). I read over a 100 books a year. The Slough House series would be in the top 10 percent.. Thoroughly enjoyable series I have now read this series one to four and am very hopeful of more in the pipeline. I have really enjoyed all of this series and this is the first time I have read this author. The writing is excellent and the plots convoluted. The characters are developing as the series develops but much is unknown about them, including my favourites and Jackson Lamb who is not! Some very humorous interactions and I can visualise these books as a really enjoyable TV series. I hope if there are future books that no . DRSwift said The best yet in the series.. I just loved this latest episode in the Slough Horse series. The twists and turns were classic British spy machinations with a suspenseful plot. When the Manchester bombing occurred just as I was finishing the book, I couldn't help but think that maybe there was more to the actual event than what was reported - the sign of Herron's convincing story telling.
Jackson Lamb worked with Cartwright back in the day. Twenty years retired, David Cartwright can still spot when the stoats are on his trail. 'The old bastard' has raised his grandson with a head full of guts and glory. He knows better than most that this is no vulnerable old man. And he's not as defenceless as they might think. And Lamb who will do whatever he thinks necessary to protect an agent in peril.. So it's Lamb they call to identify the body when Cartwright's panic button raises the alarm at Service HQ. But far from joining Spook Street, River Cartwright is consigned to Lamb's team of no-hopers at Slough House
