Didn't click with me as much as the other 2 in the series did. But then I also took a massive break at 70% and had forgotten what the book was about by them time I decided to pick it up again. Still, it was an enjoyable read. Despite how dysfunctional the Horses are, I like almost all of them anyway for some reason ;__;

Jackson Lamb's delicate management style is yet again front and center into a wonderful series which is a perfect balance of humor, superb writing and craft.

This is the third in the Slough House / Slow Horses series by Mick Herron, and it is just a fast-paced and page-turning as the first two books. Many of the same Slow Horses characters are seen again here, along with two new 'recruits.' Catherine Standish is kidnapped early in the book, and her teammates set out to find and rescue her only to discover that it's part of a much larger plot against MI-5. In spite of the fact that they have been away from the action and removed from field work, they are able to work together to accomplish what MI-5 wasn't able to, proving again that you can always depend on the Slow Horses.

I love delving into the characters of each of the agents, and also really appreciate the dark humor. Once again, I'm glad I read the Kindle version so I could easily look up the various British slang terms.
