Went for another Mick Herron, despite the above. These books do improve all the time.
I didn’t fully understand the plot here – which of the 2 MI5 ‘bosses’ won – Tearney or Lady Di Taverner(? Wait for book 4). Both seem equally corrupt.
Terrific plotting here; the slow horses are slowly pulled by the MI5 bosses and a corrupt very Boris Johnson alike politician, who also appeared in book 2, into a complex plot which has various strands attached (hence my lack of complete understanding), and there is an exciting shoot out at the end in which various characters morph from desk jockeys into real tigers.
Very good; I will try to save the last 2 for our holiday in Madeira later this month.
