The Drop by Mick Herron
2.0
I see how it is "in the same world" as the other Slough House books, but I didn't think that it added that much. I feel like a novella should cover some aspect of a character that doesn't really NEED to be in a main book, but is an interesting trip down memory lane, or gives a deeper back story.
This is neither. There is a drop. It gets botched. There is a character who is old and nearing retirement. I re-read the ending 3X to try and fully understand it, but I got lost along the way somehow. The narrative voice seemed different than the other books. Mick Herron is usually sharp-toothed and funny but this just didn't have the same sort of bite to it.
