A review by jaayraad_reads
Dead Lions by Mick Herron
4.0
A sleeper cell of Russian agents. An off book meeting with an oil baron. A city wide protest against the banks. What have the Slow Horses gotten themselves into this time!?
I thoroughly enjoyed this second instalment of the Slough House series. Even though this book correlates to the second season on Apple TV, there are some noticeable differences.
What I appreciate them keeping is that we get to focus more on each of the Slow Horses and some of their strengths, some of what makes them tick.
I’m a sucker for a fast paced spy thriller, but what sets this apart is that it isn’t just that. There is the mundanity of the daily life in Slough House. The shirking of responsibilities while working, the boredom that makes people be creative. And the undertones of what really makes this a good thriller.
2 down, only 6 to go
