Publisher's summary

Dieter Hess, an aged spy, is dead, and John Bachelor, his MI5 handler, is in deep, deep trouble. Death has revealed that the deceased had been keeping a secret second bank account - and there's only ever one reason a spy has a secret second bank account. The question of whether he was a double agent must be resolved, and its answer may undo an entire career's worth of spy secrets.

Insightful

This was an entertaining story that leaves you feeling it may have provided setting for further books.

Another link in a twisted chain.

Jackson Lamb is as sharp witted as ever! Slightly disappointed that River Cartwright only appears towards the end as a driver for Jackson.

Clever spy story.

Excellent reader and story line. At times hard to follow who is who but great story.

entire novel crammed into a short story

as a fan of the slough house series, this filled an important gap for me. my only complaint is that I wish it was a lot longer

great short story

definitely has the qualities and foundation of a much longer tale, but ends leaving the reader to complete the narrative. I also have to mention that the continuing character development is great. I don’t think I have ever run across a curmudgeon quite like jackson lamb.

very short, but as usual, well written, and great narration

very short, but as usual, great storytelling, and great narration. Knowing it was that short, I might have skipped it and gone onto the next in the series.

Great story!

Jackson Lamb figures it all out and outsmarts everyone! A great story, Lady Di gets outwitted again.

The best in the series so far

I only wish it was longer. Doesn’t sound like someone typed it out over text message like the first book. Doesn’t go excessively into Lamb’s crudeness, either. More philosophical.

The Spy Game

THE LIST is a sharp novella with as many twists and turns as there are characters and a "who is spoofing" who plot. A little slow moving in places, it is a good book #2.5 In the Slough House series.

Why not unabridged?

I enjoyed the story. It read as a nice short story, but why abridged? I guess the characters will appear in later books. On to number three!
