The Marylebone Drop by Mick Herron
4.0
Just excellent in its genre. Having watched the first three seasons of the Apple+ TV series Slow Horses and LOVED them, I decided to check out the books on which the series is based. I shall not regret it!
Mick Herron writes in the way of the knowledgeable, witty, underplayed very British novelist and I shall never tire of it! In this one, which was the only one that appeared in my reading/listening app, Everand, upon a search for Mick Herron, he builds up a cast of characters so they are all quite recognisable and believable and the novella follows the narrative arc of a classic spy novel. All within less than a hundred pages!
When I'd finished listening (excellent narration by Gerald Doyle) quite a few more books in the series appeared as by magic in the app. The search functions in both my reading/listening apps are miserable!!
A new season of the series has recently premiered on Apple+. I think I'll have to subscribe for a month. Gary Oldman as the first of the slow horses is just spectacularly good!
