About this deal

Dustin Demri-Burns as Min Harper (series 1–2), assigned after leaving a top-secret disk on the train.

They are expected to endure dull, paper-pushing tasks, along with occasional mental abuse from their miserable boss, Jackson Lamb, who expects them to quit out of boredom or frustration. Personally, I thought Season 2 was better than Season 1, which was based on the first novel, Slow Horses. The hood had held the bottle, poured its contents directly into Dickie’s clamped-wide mouth; strictly a non-speaking role. The train shunted, and then the river was flowing in the wrong direction, and Reading station was appearing once more.Now Lamb’s got his phone, and on it the last secret Dickie ever told, and reason to believe an old-time Moscow-style op is being run in the Service’s back-yard. Leavened throughout by humour, graced by a tight written style full of wit and observation of modern life and plotted with careful, clever detail, these books are gems. In Paddington the monitors wiped departure times, flagging everything ‘Delayed’, and stalled trains clogged the platforms; on the concourse luckless travellers clustered round suitcases, while seasoned commuters repaired to the pub, or rang home with cast-iron alibis before hooking up with their lovers back in the city.

Believing he was targeted also, Lamb investigates the driver, Rebecca, and discovers she previously lived in Vladivostok. He wasn’t actually wearing a suit today – he wore fawn chinos and a dark-blue roll-neck under a black raincoat – but he wasn’t fooling anyone: he was a suit, and if you cut him open he’d bleed in pinstripes. Lamb thinks that Slough House is going to be blamed for whatever operation Regent's Park is running and be disowned if it fails. Standish beats Krymov in a game of chess and he reveals it was Katinsky, not Pashkin, who he met with to set up the Webb meeting.Thankfully, the story does not end here, and there are at least another six Slough House books to go.
