Herron keeps delivering well written police thrillers and I am happy to keep reading them.

Add this to Mick Herron's collection of gems. He's one of the most consistent writers I've ever encountered. I just wish the genre of laugh-out-loud edge-of-your-seat spy thriller had more than one purveyor. The real magic here though, is the Slow Horses island of misfit spys.

Just like with the previous two books in this series, I couldn’t put this one down. Probably slightly below Spook Street and London Rules for me, but still 5-star quality. The author, Mick Herron, has a gift for witty dialogue and pacing action that keeps you guessing but also makes you feel comfortable that he knows exactly what he’s doing, even if the characters don’t (short of Jackson Lamb of course).

Another repetitive plot…but who cares when you have the beautifully disgusting Jackson Lamb to look forward to. Credit Herron for making up for the story plots by digging deep and sussing out the characters. I read the first couple of books and was not keen on continuing the series, but I looked up and ere I am. I’ll finish the series before the new year.
