THE SIXTH BOOK IN THE SERIES BEHIND SLOW HORSES, AN APPLE ORIGINAL SERIES NOW STREAMING ON APPLE TV+

If Spook Street is where spies live, Joe Country is where they go to die.
 
“Suspense, spycraft, dry wit and vulgar humor are all well-deployed in this satisfying work by Mr. Herron, whose style can accommodate everything from a tough action scene to a lyrical elegy.”—Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal

In Slough House, the London outpost for disgraced MI5 spies, memories are stirring, all of them bad. Catherine Standish is buying booze again, Louisa Guy is raking over the ashes of lost love, and new recruit Lech Wicinski, whose sins make him an outcast even among the slow horses, is determined to discover who destroyed his career, even if he tears his life apart in the process.
 
Meanwhile, in Regent’s Park, Diana Taverner’s tenure as First Desk is running into difficulties. If she’s going to make the Service fit for purpose, she might have to make deals with a familiar old devil . . .
 
And with winter taking its grip, Jackson Lamb would sooner be left brooding in peace, but even he can’t ignore the dried blood on his carpets. So when the man responsible for killing a slow horse breaks cover at last, Lamb sends the slow horses out to even the score.

Joe Country

Well paced and well written.

Disappointing

I love the Slow Horses books, but this one falls short. At their best, these are books driven by complex, eccentric characters, with Jackson Lamb being the straw that stirs the drink. In this one, Lamb is absent for much of it. Not sure why Herron departed from a winning formula, but it didn’t serve him well.

Smart and funny - the slow horses are back in full force

No slow start, no excessive descriptions; the funny dialogues and witty plots are back. Love it
