London Rules
I recently watched an intriguing series on Apple TV titled Slow Horses. Spanning four seasons, the show features a stellar cast led by Gary Oldman, who delivers a compelling performance as Jackson Lamb, a seasoned yet shrewd MI5 agent in charge of a team of misfit spies. The series masterfully blends humor with thrilling espionage, making it irresistibly engaging—I was hooked from the very beginning. Each season is adapted from one of Mick Herron's novels in the Slough House series, with the first season closely mirroring the events of the first book, and so forth. After finishing the final season, I craved more and decided to delve into the books. I recently completed the fifth installment, London Rules, and highly recommend adding it to your reading list. Needless to say, Mick Herron has firmly secured a spot on my list of must-follow authors.
@Swede1952 Let's hope they make the book into another season of Slow Horses. British television is in its element taking good books to screenplays.
@Swede1952 @SpaDogs I actually read all of his books before the TV series was made. They're both excellent -- books and show.
@mlanger @Swede1952 I'll have to read the books now. Love to learn the differences.
@SpaDogs @Swede1952 If you have a library card you may be able to borrow them through your library as e-books. That's how I read them. I just checked to make sure I read them all and I did between 2021 and 2022.

Oh you need to do this
@noondlyt @Swede1952 @SpaDogs If you like to read, use your library! It'll save you money and, if you prefer, you can borrow ebooks and read them on any tablet. Plus, the more people USE the library, the more likely it is that the library stays open.
Welcome Back @Swede1952 @mlanger @noondlyt @SpaDogs
Try the Libby app with your library card. Really encourages me to finish the ebooks faster
@mlanger @noondlyt @Swede1952 We need libraries.
@Swede1952 @mlanger You Should.
@Swede1952 Slow horses was fantastic!
The other half has read all the books in the series and thinks they were all great.
For some reason, I thought there were only eight but there are 134 or 14, counting a few novellas. I won't have trouble finding something to read for a while. There is another coming out this year.
@Swede1952 thank you for the rec, I've put it on hold at the library
I think you’ll enjoy it 
@Swede1952
Colbert did an extended interview of Gary Oldman. I think it aired Thursday. Very good.
@Swede1952
It's a great show, thanks for the recommendation.
