The continuing saga of the Spook Street officers, and involving O.B, River's grandfather. Characters come in and out, and it is difficult at times to remember who's who. Still a good read.
A friend of mine happened to walk into a talk with Mick Herron at some literary festival a few years back to see whether he was worth reading. She ended up buying all his books at the time, and telling me about him. With my gigantic TBR list, I decided to go for the series (utterly brilliant acting by Gary Oldman especially) on Apple TV first. When season 3 was finished for me, I thought, OK I must read the next book because I can't wait for the actors to do their thing for me. This is therefore the first Mick Herron I have read. Dang, this writer knows how to write! The pages turned themselves, and I inhaled the book in two days. I don't think my nerves could have dragged it out longer. I don't dare order the next books from the library, otherwise I will need to book my summer vacation immediately. These books look like I wouldn't do anything other than read, read, and read. Whew!
Still - not quite sure what to do now. I am slightly reeling from the events of the past 24 hours in the lives of the slow horses.

I really flew through this one. What a fuckin ride. Some of our characters' doors open and some of them close. This was my favorite of the Slow Horses books that I've read and yet it is also the saddest. 10/10
