A second anti-terrorist workout for the sorely tried denizens of Finsbury’s Slough House ( Slow Horses, 2010). As Lamb investigates Bow’s death, and as Guy and Harper draw closer to the date of Webb’s meeting with the oligarch, their separate plotlines begin to converge, leaving readers wondering who’s conning whom, and to what end. Olivia Cooke as Sidonie "Sid" Baker (season 1), a competent MI5 agent inexplicably assigned to Slough House. Lamb’s tempting Catherine to drink again was just cruel and unnecessary, a step too far for that particular characterisation.

There are many red herrings and even more twists. At least two stories running – that may or may not be connected. Slough House inhabitants are put in danger – some survive, but not all.

The character-driven narrative, which does touch on cliche and can be overblown and over-the-top but is generally successful at creating likeable characters whom we care about despite – possibly because – of their failings. This was a strong ensemble cast.

A surreal, cynical, yet amusing look at the world of British intelligence . . . a looking-glass world that features KGB undercover agents, a Russian oligarch, a text message on a mobile phone and the ghost of a fabled Soviet spymaster who may not be real . . . an amusing, serpentine plot that takes readers as far from the glamorous world of Ian Fleming’s tuxedo-wearing spy as could be imagined.” Dead Lions is the second book in a planned series of three about the inhabitants of Slough House in central London, the first, Slow Horses, having been a finalist for the Crime Writers’ Association Steel Dagger Award in 2010. Slough House and slow horses are associated by a pun which is deliberately not very good. Its inhabitants are members of MI5 – not the real Premier League MI5, which is near Regents Park, but its poor Division 2 relation at an outpost in the city. Slow horses is the name given to those members of the service whose careers have been blighted by an error of some kind.Katherine Waterston as Alison Dunn, a MI5 agent who uncovers a dark secret at the heart of the agency [4] Special offer is good for three months after the first activation of the eligible device.

I preferred the first book a bit more, if only because it sets the tone, and I found it to be a bit more humorous than this second book. Series are always a tough read for me, because I’ll read the first book, love it, and then want to dive right into the second. Oftentimes, the second book is good, but it is ALWAYS difficult to recapture the elements that draw you in to that first book. There’s a sameness that can wear thin with too much of a good thing, unless an author is good enough to build upon the things that you love while showing you something new.
