Description
What happens when an old spook loses his mind? Does the Service have a retirement home for those who know too many secrets but don’t remember they’re secret? Or does someone take care of the senile spy for good?
These are the paranoid concerns of David Cartwright, a Cold War–era operative and one-time head of MI5 who is sliding into dementia, and questions his grandson, River, must figure out answers to now that the spy who raised him has started to forget to wear pants. But River, himself an agent at Slough House, MI5’s outpost for disgraced spies, has other things to worry about. A bomb has detonated in the middle of a busy shopping center and killed forty innocent civilians. The “slow horses” of Slough House must figure out who is behind this act of terror before the situation escalates.
Reviews
Spook Street
4By djdjdkfjfkfkIngenious plot, but slightly far fetched.good one
3By Big Max 1dead lion was great - spook street has a very slow start and much more description on things than dead lion - once you get pass the middle, dialogues become more interesting and story more action packed. lamb is not as central as before but all and all a decent book in the seriesCan’t get enough
5By Auggie's ManI’m a very fast reader. In order to slow myself down, to enjoy every bit of dialog, or writing, to slow the plot’s advance, I distract myself with something. But then I return, eager for it all to continue..Fantastic
5By Matt742This might be the best in the series thus far! Complex story and suspenseful plot.Best in the Series
5By GT1829Absolutely amazing. You’re missing out if you’re not reading this series.
