Why read it?
2 authors picked London Rules as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was my favourite of the Slow Horses book series. The character of Jackson Lamb is truly Falstaffian. There are reasons why Herron is considered to be the new master of spy-tainment. Although I love the tv series, Slow Horses, the books are so much better. A real treat.
This book certainly made me stop and think about how I write, and I have altered my style since. Set in modern-day London, the Slow Horses (failed MI6 operatives forced to work in Slough House) under the tutelage of Jackson Lamb eke out a futile existence. The heads of MI6 hope the demeaning work will make them walk away and leave the espionage world. Lamb is one of the great characterizations, a burnt-out spy who still has acres of tradecraft and protects his team against the outside forces at a political and international level. A string of random terrorist attacks…
From Robert's list on spies, spying and cold war thrillers.
