The first novella in the Slough House series, The List, I read out of order—that is, after I'd already become acquainted with JK Coe through Spook Street. In this case, I've read it in order, so this is my first introduction to Lech Wicinski, and while the story was vaguely interesting, I wish I had more context for Lech. Ah well, I'm sure we'll get there.
