We’re nine books in at this point, you’re not reading this to see if Slough House is for you, you just want to know if the latest one is any good. And of course it is. It might even be the funniest one yet, which is a big claim, but I laughed out loud several times reading this, and I’m usually super grumpy so there you go. There’s the usual twisty plot, where Jackson lamb and Diana Taverner are always a mile’s worth of steps ahead of the reader, and a climax that could well radically alter the future direction of the series, but the real pleasure is just spending time with this characters and this setting. Gold.
