This series is excellent, and bright as a new penny. The characters are unforgettable. The dialogue is crisp and witty, and you have to be quick on your feet to keep up with lumbering, acid-witted Jackson Lamb. In this book Lamb loses one of his Slough House agents, and the rest of the team find out before he does and set off to find the missing employee. Each of the four have their own demans to deal with, and that is why they are part of the Slow Horse team, but each of them have one or two amazing spy craft skills, and if they work together, they can do amazing things. Lamb finally clues in to what happens, and then look out. For as lazy and alovently as he looks, his mind is as sharp as tack. He is continually underestimated by his superiors, Ib their best day, they cannot hope to catch up with Jackson Lamb and the workings of his brilliant mind. I highly recommend this series, and I cannot wait to read more. ( ) Mick Herron has a most engaging use of language to move the story along. The characters each embody a sense of ennui that is characteristic of all the Slow Horses. However they collectively rise above it in meeting the challenge posed by their adversaries. And the humor, sublime but often generates laugh out loud chuckles. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The kidnapping is only the tip of the iceberg, however??the agents uncover a larger web of intrigue that involves not only a group of private mercenaries but the highest authorities in the Secret Service.
