I love this series sooo soooo much. The characters are so interesting, screwups and fascinating as they try to save the world whilst the big boys are clueless as usual.

pickThis series is the only exception to my “read it before you see it” rule. Gary Oldman is phenomenal as Jackson Lamb—I love the way he plays the character—and having now read three of the books, I can say that the tv show does a great job of adapting already great stories. Laugh out loud funny, tense (even though I knew what was going to happen), and filled with more flatulence you would expect in a spy novel, this was another fantastic story.
so-soOh, Mick, you were doing so well in making each entry in this series a tensley-plotted and craftily-resolved story, with maybe a hint about what might be raised in the next novel. This alone provided an experience that had me coming back for more. This book, however, while containing as much tension and as many twists and turns, raised so many concerns, not enough of which were resolved, and those that were, were not very satisfactorily done. 1/?
80% done with this book, which is the last square I need for book bingo! (Page to screen square).
Geez, I adore this series! Such great characters, lots of action and very nicely written.! And, of course I'll watch season 4 on apple tv!
Love Mick Herron books, this one made me want to toss it across the room.......I really need to get over my need for the good guys to always win
pickThe first book in the series was good, this one is even better & you can see Herron, & his characters, really hitting their stride in this one. Jackson Lamb is as disheveled & foul as ever (love his character), his subordinates are still suffering through their stints in Slough House, & no one is happy. A former spy dies & this makes Lamb curious. He pulls on a thread & things start to happen. Laughed out loud a lot reading this one. A good read.
