A review by p_t_b
Spook Street by Mick Herron

5.0

feel like herron fully nailed the formula here. gogol doing lecarre but also some conrad (secret sharer) and martin amis (i still have a soft spot for London Fields although i dont care for his overall project). both a nod to and an utter mockery of bourne-y superspy thrillers. also dickens too, can't deny it. it's a melodrama that keeps threatening to be art and the threats are really enjoyable
