Mick Herron has taken an idea and produced four excellent novels from it. 

Having read the one novel, I had no choice but to part with my cash and purchase the other three and to sit and devour them in as few sittings as I could manage.

Although the books probably fall under the thriller genre, the can be read and enjoyed by any reader who enjoys a well written story.

I would thoroughly recommend Mick Herron to anyone who has not yet tried him.

Gripping and a real,page turner. Will definitely look for this author in future.

My first Mick Herron book. Took the book because of others reviews and must say, really enjoyed it.
The characters in Slough House take some sorting out along with their boss Jackson Lamb. This is the third book in the Jackson Lamb series.
Slough House a backwater in the Intelligence Service of those banished operatives who have fouled the powers within the Service.

The book is fast pace with plenty of action  that carries you along in an implausible but thoroughly enjoyable ride.
A great "airport book " that doesn't tax the intellect too much.

The Jackson Lamb / Slow Horses series have been one of my favourite discoveries of the last year. I love Mick Herrons writing style which is colourful and uniquely descriptive. 

Spook Street follows the the rag tag bunch of intelligent screw ups cast into the abyss of slough house that somehow seem to find their way at the sharp end of the latest conspiracy. Like the other books this story is interesting and believable and keeps you hooked until the end. I highly recommend it.

The fourth in this excellent series is well up to form and BDO twins the high standard set by Mr Herron in his previous books. 

The Slow Horses are as damaged  and bizarre as ever as they put aside their infighting to help solve the problems faced by River Cartwright's ex-spook grandfather. 

Well written, understated and droll this is a treat to be savoured and enjoyed.
