This was a delicious book. I know i need to re-read the master Le Carre', but Mick Herron's Slow Horses are a wonderful satisfying read. There are lot of wonderful tidbits in this book, from the cat/mouse opening and closing, to Lamb falling asleep on park bench and waking up with 42p. This is a series I will relish.

Book #2 in the Slough House / Slow Horses series. Jackson Lamb and his team of the Slow Horses is pulled into solving the murder of one of their own. The book is fast paced, and moves from team to team, following them during the 24 hours of the novel. Pay attention, reader -- there are lots twists and turns in the plot, plus many characters to keep track of. And of course the dark humor which runs throughout the book. It helped that I was reading the Kindle version so I could look up the many British slang terms that were used. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
