The Secret Hours by Mick Herron
5.0
I wouldn’t quite call this a “standalone” book since it borrows several characters and eve events in the background from the Slough House Series.
That being said, if you have read one or two in the slough house series at least, I’d highly recommend. The espionage is smart and not too slow. Drops enough hints to let you know most of the twists, but definitely still manages to surprise.
Listened to the audiobook on this one. The narrator is perfect, but there were definitely several parts where I wished I had the actual book in my hands so I could read something twice and make sure I knew what was going on.
