Well-paced with some good plot twists, focussing more on the Park’s internal political brawls rather than outside influence.

Mick Herron’s Slough House series featuring Jackson Lamb is a fast-moving and entertaining antidote to the perfectly polished, slick, and smooth characters like James Bond and his ilk. Best of all, Herron clearly likes and respects his female characters, even the sneaky, conniving ones.
Moderate: Cursing, Death, Drug use, Racial slurs, Violence, Murder, and Alcohol
