A review by quinn_fields
Slough House by Mick Herron

5.0

Unlike the previous installment, this one spends more time on the back room dealing than action sequences, but it still has probably one of the most intense action sequences in the series. Diana Taverner and Peter Judd specifically take on bigger roles, which gives it more of a political thriller feel at times rather than espionage/action. Herron is so good at writing these characters by now, that every scene has something to get excited about, no matter how mundane the activity, like baking bread.

Ends on a cliff-hanger!
