This is the last in the series (so far - hopefully there will be more), and I have enjoyed them immensely. I’m going to miss these characters! I gave the previous books 4 stars but realized with this last one that I really wanted to rate them 5 stars because of the quality, complexity, humor, and smarts wrapped up in these novels. Highly recommend.

Maybe the snarkiest yet? Simpler plot, a wider range of balanced characters, good writing, and while the SSD types are farcically goofy I give it the fourth star for the cogent Trump critiques.

London Rules might not be written down, but everyone knows rule one.

Cover your arse.

Yet another fantastic book in the Jackson Lamb series from Mick Herron.

I really don’t know how he does it, yet another book that kept me guessing and was action packed with things going on. There’s always a twist and nothing is as straightforward as it seems. I love the fact that we see more of J.K. Coe in this one and see the character develop further. And the return of the characters that I’ve come to like and feel close to now.

I also love the comedy in the books too - I had more laugh out loud moments. It’s not just drama and comedy that is brought though as the sadness felt by River over his grandads condition is done really well and comes across the pages to me as a reader.

The downside to this book is the fact that I’m now fully up to date so will have to try to wait patiently for the next instalment from the Slow Horses... I really hope I don’t have to wait too long!!
