Slough House

By: Mick Herron

Narrated by: Gerard Doyle

At Slough House - MI5’s London depository for demoted spies - Brexit has taken a toll. The “slow horses” have been pushed further into the cold, Slough House has been erased from official records, and its members are dying in unusual circumstances, at an unusual clip. No wonder Jackson Lamb’s crew is feeling paranoid. But are they actually targets? 

With a new populist movement taking hold of London’s streets and the old order ensuring that everything’s for sale to the highest bidder, the world’s a dangerous place for those deemed surplus. Jackson Lamb and the slow horses are in a fight for their lives as they navigate dizzying layers of lies, power, and death. 

In his best and most ambitious novel yet, Mick Herron, “the le Carré of the future” (BBC), offers an unsparing look at the corrupt web of media, global finance, spycraft, and politics that power our modern world.

I’m a Sucker for this Stuff

This is just a whole bunch of nasty fun. Ease up, enjoy, turn off filters.

Wickedly humorous

Mich Herron has such a way with words. I have to listen very closely and the writing is so pleasurable. Gerard Doyle is a masterful narrator. The story was fascinating.

One of the best!

Jackson Lamb makes me laugh out loud at almost everything he says! Mick Heron is such a good writer! This book was especially poignant and full of Slough House heroics—but the ending!!! Really?!! Guess I’ll be buying the next book!

Always so wonderful

I am completely hooked on the Slough house gang. Whenever Herron adds to the oeuvre, I am so happy. A listener cannot start with this one of course. A new Slough House book is like a family reunion where everyone catches up with what's been happening. I love this series!

Refreshing spy novel

These books are such a refreshing change from your normal spy novel and I love them.
