Another great thriller in the Slow Horses series, dark and funny. In this volume, River Cartwright must deal with his grandfather's mental decline--which sounds ordinary, but the O.B.--Old Bastard, as River calls him--is a former second-desk at MI5 himself, and, over the course of this book, very old secrets start to spill out. Choice.

I enjoyed the book a lot and really like the whole series, but this one was just so farfetched that I had to knock off a star.

Последната книга адаптирана на екрана, в момента, в който я чета. Трябва да призная отново, че адаптацията надминава източникът, всичките си идеи Херон реализира по-добре във втория си опит, а и Гари Олдман си е Гари Олдман.

Въпреки това усещам една промяна в тона между книгите и сериала, в книгите мотивациите на героите са много по-шпионски, много по-грандиозни, в сериалът ми се виждат прекалено цинични, за сметка на това сюжетът е наобратно, в сериала се навръзват грандиозно нишките, в книгите всичко цинично се разпръсва. За фенове на сериала книгите са добро допълнение, за фенове на книгата сериалът е добра редакция.
