Publisher's summary

A thrilling fourth installment in the CWA Gold Dagger-winning Slough House series. What happens when an old spook loses his mind? Does the Service have a retirement home for those who know too many secrets but don't remember they're secret? Or does someone take care of the senile spy for good? These are the questions River Cartwright must ask when his grandfather, a Cold War-era operative, starts to forget to wear pants and begins to suspect everyone in his life has been sent by the Service to watch him. But River has other things to worry about. A bomb goes off in the middle of a busy shopping center and kills 40 innocent civilians. The agents of Slough House have to figure out who is behind this act of terror before the situation escalates.

Another twisty story on Spook Street!

I enjoyed this romp and sped through it quickly. The characters are just as flawed yet somehow manage to do the work necessary. You must love those Slow Horses.

Slough House delivers again.

1st Desk and all the high ranking suits that surround them are corrupt and self-serving. MI-5 is as dysfunctional & dirty at the top as ALL agencies of all governments. Slough House's Lamb in his devil may care anti-establishment, anti-system manner is equal parts, rude, petulant, antagonistic, AND answer to the self-serving agencies and agency suits.
This story had more twists than the constricting serpent and delivered in the action and suspense category as well.

Le Carre with humour

Great writing/stories/plots. One needs to start with Book One, in order to truly follow all the characters properly. The narrator is very good, however, I wish someone had given him direction regarding pronunciation, so many errors.

Interesting twist

Another well read book in the series of likable characters whom I find myself side by side with in their adventures. Looking forward to more slow horse opps.

Interesting character development

This story is a bit sketched, but the characters are developing depth. The plot is not especially strong, but since the political machinations are the focus, that harms this book less than some others. Interesting major twist with likely long-term effects on the next books in the series.

Beautifully written, and complex plotting

Somewhat slow at first, but becoming gripping as you get into it. A collection of eccentrics and misfits who tackle a challenging, violent, puzzle with intelligence and courage.

Clever use of point of view for a plot twist.

Like the other Slow Horses books, the characters make them interesting and the action draws you along.

The Slow Horses Never Dissapoint

I have waited for months for this book to appear on Audible. The dialogue is witty and fast paced and the narration is spot-on. My only regret is that I finished it in two days and will have to wait months for the next installment, but I know it will be well worth the wait.
