Book seven in the 'Slow Horses' series. Jackson Lamb and his team of misfits and failures are being used as training targets and then someone begins to make them real targets.
Jackson Lamb is a great character and he screams out to have the late Warren Clarke to play him in the TV series but alas this will never happen.
Apart from Lamb's now familiar quips and put downs,which are world class, this is the weakest of the series. The story is ordinary, takes forever to get underway, and peter's out at the end to a nothing
This effort by Herron feels rushed and he needs to do better if he wants some longevity for his characters. Pro tip , you can't keep basing the entire series around three characters.
