About this listen

*Now an award-winning Apple TV+ series starring Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jack Lowden*

*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*
***WINNER OF THE THEAKSTON OLD PECULIER CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2022***

'A gripping thriller' Ian Rankin

****

Slough House - the crumbling office building to which failed spies, the 'slow horses', are banished - has been wiped from secret service records.

Reeling from recent losses in their ranks, the slow horses are worried they've been pushed further into the cold, and fatal accidents keep happening.

With a new populist movement taking a grip on London's streets, the aftermath of a blunder by the Russian secret service that left a British citizen dead, and the old order ensuring that everything's for sale to the highest bidder, the world's an uncomfortable place for those deemed surplus to requirements. The wise move would be to find a safe place and wait for the troubles to pass.

But the slow horses aren't famed for making wise decisions.

Another awesome addition.

Very enjoyable listen, Mick Herron never lets me down. I have never been a person to read or in this case listen to a whole series one after the other, but in this case I have not been able to put any of them down. I will quietly await another adventure with the Slow Horses. Sean Barrett you are a true legend, and make Jackson Lamb and the other characters three dimensional. If you read this review, join the team and enjoy the journey.

Engrossing and completely entertaining

This series feels in many ways like the inheritance from John Le Carre because it has many similarities of style, plotting, setting, cynicism, pacing and realism. But MH definitely does it all very, very well and with such humour that he is creating what seems a wholly original genre. Hard to stop listening.

Everything You Could Want But Doubted You'd Find.

A tour de force rendition by an actor at the top of his game; a labyrinthine plot that you can't put down and nail-biting action thrown in. What more could you ask for. Excellent!

Spies – smart, and deluded

Mick Herron writes great stories, but
If his books are small miracles it’s because of his virtuosity in telling them. I dare anybody to read or listen to just 10 minutes without being delighted.

Wonderful

Everything that you expect from Slough House novel and more. Like a Porsche, which over time has enhanced almost every aspect of the sorts car without deviating from the basic design, this series of books have improved over time and leave you longing for more.
