Herron continues to poke fun at Brexit, Boris and Farage. Even Putin - ‘The Kremlin’s Gay Hussar. And with Jackson Lamb having no redeeming features except perhaps his support for his team…his Joes.

The story is based around the Salisbury Novichok poisoning. With retribution for one of the perpetrators being hit in Russia ostensibly sanctioned by MI6. However, Diana Taverners support of this unsanctioned act backfires badly. Some Slow Horses from the past are being killed. One from the past returns. I will say no more.

Lamb’s non pc banter with a vertically challenged gay American whose boyfriend he believes has been murdered in Russia is sublime.

‘You’re a spy.�
‘If you are one of those 007 nerds, hoping the glamour rubs off, you’re in for a disappointment.� He farted, and produced another cigarette. ‘Class takes practice.�
‘Please don’t light that.�
‘Your growth’s already been stunted. Where’s the harm.�

We are left hanging on the fate of one of the team at the end but am hoping they perk up. Even if it was Roddy Ho I would want him back…annoying as he is.

Berengaria I am hunting more books.
