Judd is delivering a speech in the City of London on the day of the anti-capitalist protest. Some crime series can be read in no particular order but this is not the case here. Ah yes, and that I am doing, but unfortunately not enough e-copies at the library, so have ended up in the most recent book (Bad Actors). Also interesting in this context are the continued allusions to Lambs poor health, which seems to be worsening, and does not bode well for future books, although we also see more of Lambs ruthless side here as well as his loyalty to his joes and to those who help his joes (one scene at the end where a side character who said something revolting to Molly gets his dues is particularly satisfying). Catherine Standish is a middle-aged recovering alcoholic whose misfortune it was to be the personal assistant to a traitor. Joe Country is a triumph and, in my opinion, the series highlight so far. But it was Hassan who turned the goons against each other reducing their numbers to one and Hassan who finally knocked his captor out with a well-thrown rock. Kill us?

But I think hes got too old and too thin. Guess I will have to wait for Joe Country (suspecting that is the needed volume) to become available. The mortality rate for Head Dog is nearly as bad as being a slow horse. Is River really dead? Alongside that are running gags, observational humour and the vulgar insults Jackson Lamb regularly spits at his team. [2] In June 2022, the series was renewed for third and fourth seasons.

Slough House isnt the strongest novel of the series that remains Joe Country, a high-watermark which may never be matched but it is most definitely worth your time and money. Meanwhile, Claude Whelan, current First Desk, is caught between a weak PM and a populist MP flushed from a successful Brexit referendum. A befuddled Roddy Hos thoughts on The Parks plumbing is worth the price of admission alone. Since Ashley is as paranoid as any other spy, and clueless as well, shes baffled by the interactions around her in Slough House. And like Ashley, most readers will rush a third of the way into the book, at least, before confirming that almost all the machinations taking place have Jackson Lamb behind them. Plus it would be interesting if the focus moved onto Louisa who has never really reckoned with taking those diamonds and who is also quietly competent at the back. Lamb executed him to protect MI5, and was given Slough House as a reward. Any trail his dead grandfather had left, no one was going to follow but him. With a seasoned spy for a grandfather, his star in MI5 was expected to ascend into the stratosphere. In the seventh installment of this series, Mick Herron returns to the convoluted and devious world of the British Secret Service and the inhabitants of Slough House.These Joes are the disgraced of the secret world, shunted aside and relegated to meaningless tasks that underscore their irrelevance. And true, Min and Louisa managed to follow that van Until they ran out of petrol because Min was hungry and thinking about sex instead of filling up the tank. Lamb breaks him out, and the two deduce Moody was the gunman sent to kill Hobden. The wise move would be to find a safe place and wait for the troubles to pass. Beyond the individual storylines exist a set of meta-plots, developing over the series as a whole, which again must be read in order. The only clue he finds is an undelivered text Cicadas. . Theyre not allowed anywhere near MI5 HQ, which is referred to as Regents Park although the organisation is no longer based there. Rebecca recounts that Min was attacked and run over by Pitor and Kyril, and finished off by Chernitsky before his death was staged. At the same time Ho has hacked into the Parks computer system and discovered that all traces of Slough House have been expunged from the records. Yet somehow, in book after book, Mick Herron finds highly plausible ways of putting these screwups in the cross-hairs of dangerous enemies. [11] It was originally intended to film earlier in 2020 but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A year after a calamitous blunder by the Russian secret service left a British citizen dead from novichok poisoning, Diana Taverner is on the warpath. The rest of the team reconvene, and River recalls he took a photo of Taverner covertly meeting with Alan Black whilst carrying out surveillance training. Something is brewing at the Park, and Diana Taverner, First Desk, and enemy of Lamb from way back, is probably behind it. Roddy Ho is the computer whiz, uber-geek and the butt of everyones jokes, not just Lambs. She was announced as having died, but Roddy Ho inferred from her sudden online invisibility that she had been 'disappeared'. River Cartwright, is away in Kent, mourning the death of the OB, short for the Old Bastard who was Cartwrights grandfather, surrogate father and was a service legend.

At the height of the war on terror, a British subject is abducted by a terror cell and his beheading is to be streamed live on the internet, but the young man is a British Asian Muslim and the terror cell part of a far-right splinter group. River Cartwright, who is also ambitious but doesn't get the same favor from their grumpy boss, is often jealous of the fact that Sid gets (relatively) more glamorous assignments than him. And this series is one of my favorites. He was a connection to the O. (SH) Cartwright, River - Young, white, fair hair, grey eyes and a mole on his upper lip. He is as corrupt as any of the villains in the series. Theyre still getting paid but no longer formally exist and things get more sinister when Louisa Guy discovers that someone from the Service is trailing her and the other slow horses find that they are also being followed. Larry arrives at a seaport in Harwich, but is shot dead by "The Dogs" on the orders of Tierney, who plant a weapon on his corpse to justify the killing. From the latest Scandinavian serial killer to Golden Age detective stories, we love our crime novels! This, like Real Tigers, is one of the more action-packed adventures in the series, and one where several earlier plot lines are resolved to move the bigger story forwards. Several other members of the team think that it may have happened to them too, though their incompetence makes it difficult to be sure. Only the intervention of his MI5-legend grandfather (Jonathan Pryce) kept him from being fired entirely. At the head of this seeming hodgepodge of debris stands the Falstaffian Jackson Lamb. Joe Country, then Slough House, if you want them in the right order. These are remarkably politically incorrect, but work because of Lambs unbreakable loyalty to his misfit crew. To do so, however, shes had to strike up an alliance with ex-politician turned PR guru Peter Judd who has put together a group of patriotically minded billionaires willing to fund operations that the British state may balk at. Everyone enjoys an underdog story of course, but on top of that, the novels are about friendships forged from the common bond of disappointment but tested in life-and-death situations. Perpetually rueful Min left a top-secret dossier on the train. Only the intervention of his MI5-legend. - The most shocking thing coming out of Slough House was the poisoning and apparent death of River Cartwright in the final moments of the novel. By the time River arrives at Tunbridge Wells by plane with Kelly Tropper, David has already ambushed and killed Chernitsky with a shotgun. He is assigned by his superior Jackson Lamb to carry out surveillance on Robert Hobden, a journalist associated with far-right politicians Peter Judd MP and Roger Simmonds. Warning Spoilers ahead for all books in the series! I've long been a fan of this series and Mick Herron's writing generally. He claimed he was kidnapped and tortured by Popov, who force-fed him brandy, but wasnt believed, and was fired. This might explain his loyalty to his team when they are in peril, and makes his otherwise rude and bullying behaviour towards them forgivable. Bye, Struan. The way Herron skewers Boris Johnson through Judd (especially through his speeches) is just beautifully done but he also does well at showing the artifice and the naked desire for power, whatever it takes.

As I did before the release of Slough House, I look at some of the burning questions ahead of the next book. When River Cartwright was relegated to Slough House, he was too young to have developed the legendary skill set of which Jackson Lamb can boast. My carefully organized reading list just took a direct hit. He can handle Lambs temperament but he isnt who I see when I read the books. I also think that Louisa has really stepped up to be MVP in terms of spy ability so it would be good to see her continue to move front and centre, especially as there will doubtless be some kind of additional call back to those diamonds and her affair with Min. Not that Mick Herron pays the slightest attention to what his fans want, but I for one would love to see the return of Sid, and would welcome possible Sid-River interactions, but I guess thats not in the cards.

All in all and nitpicks aside, I thought this was a great read in a series where theres been no let up in quality and I genuinely cannot wait to see what Herron does next with these characters. Desperate Measures reaches nailbiting conclusion. Meanwhile, still reeling from recent losses, the slow horses are worried theyve been pushed further into the cold. River Cartwright, one such "slow horse," is bitter about his failure and about his tedious assignment transcribing cell phone conversations. Read the book and then laugh at my incorrect guesses!

Your email address will not be published. Your email address will not be published. The 7th in Mick Herrons SLOUGH HOUSE SERIES is another fast-paced, action packed spy thriller that adds biting satire to the temperature of the nation. Its not universally true no-one likes the character Roddy Ho, for example but River Cartwright and Catherine Standish form a bond, as do Louisa Guy and Min Harper, and Shirley Dander and Marcus Longridge. Filming of the first season began on 30 November 2020, in England, and continued into February 2021, with Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas spotted on set in Westminster, London. What didn't become clear till later was that Webb had misled Cartwright on Di Taverner's instructions in order to discredit him, because River had previously tailed Taverner on his own initiative and seen her talking with Black. The book ends with what was for me, a truly devastating development and even though you know what no one in Slough House is safe, I wasnt expecting it to hit that character. River bribes a taxi driver in Stroud, who reveals he drove Chernitsky to an airfield and flying club in Upshott, but was instructed to lie about it and call a number should people come looking. Eventually Lamb reveals that he's guilt-stricken because he gave Partner the gun that he used to shoot himself. I particularly liked one scene between Lamb and Lady Di that showed the frustration she feels towards him but also the grudging respect she also has for his opinion and how that comes with Lambs utter contempt for what she stands for. David Walmsley as Larry, a member of the Sons of Albion. If I was being nit-picky, then Id question why Lady Di didnt do her due diligence before getting back in withJudd given how careful she usually is, but equally Herron does make clear they had history together and the nature of the revelation does hold a lot of delicious possibilities for future books given how ensnared Lady Di now is. Slough House has been wiped from Service records, and fatal accidents keep happening. These are such fun books that I have to drop everything and read them as soon as each one comes out. The story, in the early days of, This week sees the release of Trouble, the third book in the Hella Mauzer series by Katja Ivar. They may be (they are) all failures, but still, they are his, and he doesnt allow anyone to mess with them (much). Also see Mick Herrons standalone novels, Nobody Walks and This Is What Happened? Not crucial questions but worth thinking about . Hes overweight, frequently drunk and appears dishevelled, but many enemies make the mistake of underestimating him. His deft and sympathetic characterisation affords the reader a connection with the slow horses (the Parks nickname for their castoffs) which grows with every triumph, every obstacle overcome, and their losses are felt keenly. So they all get to stay put at Slough House, no prizes, no pats on the back, just a dismal career under Jackson Lamb's nicotine-stained thumb. Hassan then has to fight the urge to kill Curly himself, which he ultimately doesn't. She claims to have an operative embedded with the Sons of Albion who organised the kidnapping, but will also facilitate the rescue. River didn't know if he really believed that, but he knew for sure that he didn't know he didn't, and if River thought that way others might too, and act upon the possibility. I dunno. He wants a tame intelligence service ready to do the PMs bidding and leaks rumours that a government advisor has been subject to extraordinary rendition by an MI5 gone rogue. Such events, on home turf, require a response and Taverner is keen enough to make that happen to allow Judds involvement. I would also love to know whats happening with Sid as well as how River is dealing with his fathers death! For there has been foreign agents spreading havoc, not least poisoning civilians, in a way that actually happened. He is the author of six books in the Slough House series as well as a mystery series set in Oxford featuring Sarah Tucker and/or P.I. This is yet another winning book from the series featuring the "slow horses" of Britain's intelligence world. Theyre worth reading in sequence. David discusses the cicada theory of Russian sleeper agents embedded in British society, which MI5 dismissed as a hoax after no sleepers were found and discovered that the programs alleged mastermind, Alexander Popov, did not exist. All Rights Reserved. However, she is soon reminded there is no such thing as a free lunch and we observe that there are no limits to Judds ambition. And not just one cliff either; each thread I wanted wrapped up just stops. Against a background of Brexit, Novichok poisonings and Yellow Vest protests, the remaining slow horses are dealing with the recent violent loss of two associates. Now that the O. Will we ever see WW Henderson return to his Aldergate building? A Russian oligarch is visiting London and elements of The Park want to turn him because a potential future Russian president who owes British Intelligence would be a massive coupe. He is never without a drink or a smoke, even when the team goes dark, and remains as rude and offensive as ever. Spook Street is one of the darker novels and what little comic relief there is, is provided by Roddy Ho getting a girlfriend, a plot thread which is pulled in the follow up novel, London Rules. Given what Reeses boyfriend was doing, theres clearly some potential for him to pop up in future books and if so, I would like to have him get more to do than being the butt of the joke. Shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger, Ian Fleming Steel Dagger and the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award.Buy now on Amazon. However, during a scouting mission, when the two are stalking a right-wing journalist called Robert Hobden, Sid is shot by an unseen intruder. But there's more to the story than he reveals to Standish: we discover at the end of Slow Horses that Lamb in fact murdered Partner on the orders of David Cartwright, River's grandfather. She thinks that there are two people trying to kill her and River doesnt know if its a real threat or something caused by the gunshot wound to the head that she took at the end of SLOW HORSES. yes reading in order is key and just stack them up next to your bed and dont expect to move for 10 days. Although River hated him, I would still imagine him being dead might be something to work through psychologically. Lucas had seen something he shouldnt have whilst working a holiday job and his attempt at exploiting the situation is having profound consequences. I earn commission on any purchases made through these links. But just as Cartwright was given just enough. Things get pretty close, and Curly is stopped right in the nick of time before he murders the young student. LOOK AWAY NOW. I dont think John Bachelor survived the last sentence of The Catch, did he? I won't go into the storyline since that can be found elsewhere. Baker seemed the most competent of the gang because she was: she eventually revealed to River that Taverner had posted her to Slough House to keep an eye on him. Can't praise enough the writing and the way Mr Herron has with words. Mick Herron. When a Russian operative is killed, they think the slow horses who now appear to be off-the-books were responsible. Part of the popularity of the series lies in the fact these books simply make you feel good. Sadly it wasn't enough to prevent her from being shot by her colleague Jed Moody, who she interrupted when he was trying to clean up Taverner's operation. i wish it would go on forever. Someone more like Warren Clarke or Sidney Greenstreet is more in keeping with how he is portrayed. As the slow horses try to work out whats going on, they find themselves caught up in events outside their control and in the cross hairs of a ruthless enemy who doesnt care about collateral damage . Here, Herron introduces a new slow horse, Ashley Khan, and further develops his subplot of Russian interference in the British establishment.Buy now on Amazon. Well, unless you count Ashley Khan.

Lamb really is an appalling character and I can easily understand those who don't like him but he is bloody funny too! I was very disappointed in the ending of this novel. Herrons plot is packed with twists and delightfully sardonic conversations, and the books only major flaw is that at some point it ends and one must resume normal life. Unfortunately for Black, one of the racist loons, Curly (Brian Vernel), rumbled him and decided to go through with the decapitation plan for real, beginning with the undercover agent himself. I'm *beyond excited* to have received an ARC from those lovely people at John Murray (thank you!) She is one of the most competent agents and appears in every book. 'Slough House' is my seventh visit with the British Security Service screwups who have been exiled from the shining high-tech HQ to the grimy dilapidation of Slough House where they live lives of demoralising drudgery, doing nugatory work for the irascible Jackson Lamb. Cartwright, having copied the contents of Hobden's USB drive before delivering it to Regent's Park, realises it contains no information and manipulates a rival, James 'Spider' Webb, into confirming the same. He deduces Katinsky is the spymaster behind the Cicada program (passing himself off as a junior bureaucrat when defecting to avoid suspicion) and was the handler of a traitor in the service. The title track "Strange Game" was performed by Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, who wrote the song exclusively for the show[15] together with the shows composer Daniel Pemberton. History Season 1 At an airport, River Cartwright gets ready to board his flight while waiting for someone. But in the end, he takes the high road and lies to him, saying that according to his grandfather, Ho was just so awesome that he was making everyone else look bad, so had to be disposed of. I would have liked to have got a bit more emotion in the scenes between her and River given the flirtation between them in SLOW HORSES but Herrons very restrained, showing touches of Rivers guilt over what happened to her at the same time as gently indicating there could be something more here as well.
