About this listen
*Now an award-winning Apple TV+ series starring Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Jack Lowden*
*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*
***WINNER OF THE THEAKSTON OLD PECULIER CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2022***
'A gripping thriller' Ian Rankin
****
Slough House - the crumbling office building to which failed spies, the 'slow horses', are banished - has been wiped from secret service records.
Reeling from recent losses in their ranks, the slow horses are worried they've been pushed further into the cold, and fatal accidents keep happening.
With a new populist movement taking a grip on London's streets, the aftermath of a blunder by the Russian secret service that left a British citizen dead, and the old order ensuring that everything's for sale to the highest bidder, the world's an uncomfortable place for those deemed surplus to requirements. The wise move would be to find a safe place and wait for the troubles to pass.
But the slow horses aren't famed for making wise decisions.
'The most completely realised espionage universe since that peopled by George Smiley' The Times

The best Slough House yet, but what a shocker!
Mick Herron delivers the best spy fiction in decades. His lyrical prose brings an other-worldly element to his street dialogue and gritty descriptions. Utter genius! But that ending.....!

Contemporary espionage thriller
This most recent Mick Herron book can be read as a standalone, although some prior knowledge of the various characters and their previous machinations was helpful. Herron paints his characters so well that you can see them playing out this wonderfully complex tale as Sean Barrett voices all of them brilliantly. Herron has woven in recent real life spook events too so that this book really comes to life as you listen. He also leaves the reader/listener hanging at the end...I can’t wait for the next in the series!

Lockdown Bliss
I imagine the combination of Jackson Lamb, Roddy Ho, Peter Judd, Shirley Dander and Diane Taverner to be the dinner guests from hell but in Mick Herron's hands and Sean Barrett's voice they are heaven sent Spook Street guests. They are by turns droll, sharp, witty, snide, vain, ruthless, crude, topical, cynical and strangely sentimental not to mention laugh out loud hilarious in a timely plot that ends on a savagely beautiful cliffhanger of a final chapter. I always fancied Brian Cox for the TV Jackson Lamb so let's see what Gary Oldman makes of it. And as for the casting of Roddy Ho, I can't wait to see who gets that plum role.

Staggeringly good.
A total return to form. Possibly the best of the series. Brilliantly nasty, totally Jackson.
Don't die.

The usual brilliance from Mick Heron
I love this series by Mick Heron. It’s wonderfully witty, utterly incisive and outrageously addictive. The audible narration by Sean Barrett is sublime. I see Apple has made the books into a tv series…I haven’t seen it and not entirely sure I’d want to, for fear of being disappointed if it didn’t live up to the books. If you haven’t aquatinted yourself with the Slow Horses yet, then what are you waiting for?

Gripping
Having waited months for the latest instalment I was not disappointed to hear the adventures of Jackson Lamb and his Slow Horses.
Could not stop listening and have finished it in a day.
Very much looking forward to the screen version starring Gary Oldman and I could easily visualise how this will pan out.
Fantastic listen.

Bring on the next Slough House novel
Jackson Lamb fans shouldn't be disappointed. The surviving crew are being tailed, but by whom? Perfect narrator.
