Slough House is a dumping ground for British intelligence agents who've screwed up cases in any number of ways - by leaving a secret file on a train or blowing a surveillance. River Cartwright, one such "slow horse", is bitter about his failure and about his tedious assignment transcribing cell phone conversations. When a young man is abducted and his kidnappers threaten to broadcast his beheading live on the Internet, River sees an opportunity to redeem himself.

Twenty-six-year-old Maggie Barnes is someone you would never look at twice. Living alone in a month-to-month sublet in the huge city of London, with no family but an estranged sister, no boyfriend or partner, and not much in the way of friends, Maggie is just the kind of person who could vanish from the face of the earth without anyone taking notice. Or just the kind of person MI5 needs to infiltrate the establishment and thwart an international plot that puts all of Britain at risk. Now one young woman has the chance to be a hero - if she can think quickly enough to stay alive.

So when the naked body of a woman is found floating in the weeds in a lake near Bath with no one willing to identify her, no marks, and no murder weapon, his sleuthing abilities are tested to the limit.

A debut novel in the vein of Greene and le Carré, A Dying Breed is a brilliant and gripping story of the politics of news reporting, intrigue and blood set between the dark halls of Whitehall, the shadowy corridors of the BBC and the perilous streets of Kabul, in the shadowy le Carré-esque world of foreign correspondents reporting from war zones around the world. Carver, an old BBC hack, is warned off a story when a bomb goes off, killing a local official in Kabul, but his instincts tell him something isn't quite right....

Before Harry took on the neo-Nazi gangs of Oslo, before he met Rakel, before The Snowman tried to take everything he held dear, he went to Australia. Harry Hole is sent to Sydney to investigate the murder of Inger Holter, a young Norwegian girl who was working in a bar. Initially sidelined as an outsider, Harry becomes central to the Australian police investigation when they start to notice a number of unsolved rape and murder cases around the country. The victims were usually young blondes. Inger had a number of admirers, each with his own share of secrets, but there is no obvious suspect.

When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the best-selling crime writer for years, she's intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful.

Not bad, but this author has better
I really enjoyed Slow Horses by Mick Herron, and got this book based on that. But have to say that i found this to be a bit slow and drawn out in places. I really like the way Herron writes (no forced metaphors trying to prove he's witty - just good stuff), but the story itself didn't grab me here. It was ok, and worth a listen, i just wish it hadn't been as long maybe... Narration was good.

Not his best
This is a fairly typical Mick Herron. The basic premise is that the British Secret Service is basically totally immoral and its principal activity is murdering people to cover up appalling crimes by the military and government. The body count is enormous and the plot is far-fetched to the point of being completely incredible. But it's fast paced and there are unexpected twists every few pages and it's diverting enough.
Anna Bentinck is serviceable as the reader but I don't think her voice is really suited to this stuff.
The best Mick Herrons are the Slow Horses trilogy read by Sean Barrett.

Slow to start but an inferno by the end!
Any additional comments?
I, like many other readers, bought this book after reading the Slough House series by Mick Herron.
While it was a big difference for me to have a female narrator, (so many of my books being by Sean Barrett, Peter Forbes or Saul Reichlin), Anna Bentinck does a wonderful job of portraying the individual characters within this book.
I tend to buy the Unabridged versions of books to get the whole story and not what someone else thinks the Author wanted to say / write, this book was definitely one where, at the beginning, I wished I had bought an abridged version. It took a lonbg time to get going as such, although you are never really waiting for blood & glory from the start of any book, I felt this one took a long time to really get going. that said once it got started it moved along at a really strong pace and never slowed until the end.
I hope you enjoy the story as much as I did, I'm in the process of downloading the next in the series, "The last voice you hear."

Not near the level of Herron's 'Slow Horses'
Some decent charcters but poorly plotted and hard work. Not sure if the others in this series are better but if you started with the 'Slow Horses' books then be warned that this one isn't nearly as good.

Maybe
I'm not sure but I think the narrator spoilt this one, I don't think her voice suits it. There are a long stretches that failed to keep me interested but I did finish the book, perhaps just waiting for something to happen? The ending was disappointing but maybe it leads into the next as it is the start of a series. Not Slough House standard, which is very entertaining. Mr Herron can do much better!
