An excellent spy drama about the underdogs of MI5. I confess that I came to this book because I am a fan of the televisions show, which followed the story very closely. Everyone loves an underdog and there are no better examples than the agents of Slough House. Slow Horses is well written and a lot of fun. I highly recommend.

Hate to say it, but probably is better as a tv show. Just too many characters for a book.
