'The new king of the spy thriller' Mail on Sunday

'Mick Herron is an incredible writer' Mark Billingham

****

From the Intelligence Service purgatory that is Slough House, where disgraced spies are sent to see out the dregs of their careers, Jackson Lamb is on his way to Oxford, where a former spook has turned up dead on a bus. Dickie Bow was a talented streetwalker once, good at following people and bringing home their secrets. He was in Berlin with Lamb, back in the day. But he's not an obvious target for assassination in the here and now.

On Dickie's phone Lamb finds the last message he ever left, which hints that an old-time Moscow-style op is being run in the Intelligence Service's back-yard. Once a spook, always a spook, and even being dead doesn't mean you can't uncover secrets.

Dickie Bow might have tailed his last target, but Lamb and his crew of no-hopers are about to go live.

Critic Reviews

Praise for Mick Herron's Jackson Lamb series:
The finest new crime series this Millennium
Mick Herron is the real deal
I can't wait to read what Mick Herron writes next
Surely among the finest British spy fiction of the past 20 years
Herron has the comedy and eye to rival Len Deighton
Herron may be the most literate, and slyest, thriller writer in English today
Delightful ... with a dry humour reminiscent of Greene and Waugh
All stars

This is an extremely gripping series. If you have liked the first book then there is no way you will let go of the rest of this series. Written well and efficiently there isn't one dull moment. Once you get to finishing around 60% of the book, you will want to finish the remaining book in one sittting! It is that compelling.

My only criticism of this audible is that there is no pause or a break when one scene shifts to another. While reading a physical book one can know of these by the spacing or seperators. In the audiobook it's difficult to know. I really wish they had devised some way of managing this better as it affects the overall listening experience.

Now, on to the next book in this wonderful series!!

A good racy spy thriller
