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.

"The book cover belongs to "London Rules" by Mick Herron. It features an aerial view of London with the iconic Shard building standing out at the center. The title, "LONDON RULES", is boldly written in large red letters at the top, while the author's name, "MICK HERRON", is displayed prominently in white at the bottom. Above the title, there's an intriguing quote by Val McDermid, calling Herron "the John le Carré of our generation". It also highlights that this is "A Slough House Novel" and mentions Herron's accolades as a Crime Writers' Association Gold and Steel Dagger Winner. A striking cover that teases intrigue and recognition!" - Copilot

"This novel is part of the Slough House series, which follows a group of disgraced British intelligence agents. In London Rules, a terror plot threatens the country, and the "slow horses" of Slough House find themselves unexpectedly thrust into action. Led by their irascible boss, Jackson Lamb, the team must navigate political machinations, personal vendettas, and deadly stakes to uncover the truth. The story blends espionage, dark humor, and sharp commentary on the modern intelligence world." - summary by Copilot

@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.
