Slow Horses

Veddy British, a little depressing, some nice flashes of writing and a bit tedious.

For some reason I was expecting a lighter book of a group of f-ups who blunder their way to relevance. Instead I found out that Herron wrote a serious book (with moments of wit and humour) that actually falls squarely into the more serious Spy novel genre. I really enjoyed it.

All the double dealing, two-faced treachery one expects from a cracking British spy novel.
