I would like to thank the author, publishers and Netgalley for allowing me to pick this to read and review all my reviews are honest.
Synopsis A governmental think-tank, whose remit is to curb the independence of the intelligence service, has lost one of its key members, and Claude Whelan—one-time head of MI5's Regent’s Park—is tasked with tracking her down. But the trail leads straight back to the Park itself, with Diana Taverner as chief suspect. Has Diana overplayed her hand at last? What’s her counterpart, Moscow’s First Desk, doing in London? And does Jackson Lamb know more than he’s telling? Over at Slough House, with Shirley Dander in rehab, Roddy Ho in dress rehearsal, and new recruit Ashley Khan turning up the heat, the slow horses are doing what they do best, and adding a little bit of chaos to an already unstable situation . . . There are bad actors everywhere, and they usually get their comeuppance before the credits roll. But politics is a dirty business, and in a world where lying, cheating and backstabbing are the norm, sometimes the good guys can find themselves outgunned. Part 8 of 8
My Review
This was a great read. I actually gave it 3.5 stars but had to round it up as it was better than a 3-star read. I listened to the audiobook book and thought the narrator was this book greatest asset. His tone of voice was a perfect fit and really brought this book to life.I found it a little hard to keep track of the story line at times but have since reading this book noticed it was the last part of a series and therefore the rest of the books would have had to be read to understand the storyline . This is why I became confused at times while reading the book. I did really like listening to the book so my rating is true and honest I was just confused by aspects I was obviously meant to know before reading this book. It wasn't made obvious when I requested this book to review that it was part of a series. I did love the fact the book seemed more like a literary fiction mixed with blunt humour. It also felt like it was an old English tale rather than a more modern book. It was very unique in the way it was wrote and I really commend the author for his style. It was really refreshing to break that normal style of mysteries and mix it up for this unique story. Many thanks to the author and publishers for creating this unique story with great blunt humour.
