#JustRead #TheSecretHours by #MickHerron.
While I wanted to take my time, savour the jokes, & marvel at the stop-you-in-your-tracks sentences, I couldn't resist racing through it, hell bent for leather.
It's a thriller, a frightening & hilarious exposé of MI5 & UK politics in all their shoddy, ruthless skulduggery — but written with a poet's touch, dark, beautiful, & very funny.
As a bonus, it's a delicious adjunct to the #SloughHouse series.

Have just started to read Mick Herron's latest novel, The Secret Hours. Woof, can he write, or what? His 'slow horses' series is superb and he appears to be continuing in the same vein with this stand-alone novel. He has a very English style to his writing: arch, dry, and cynical. Not to everyone's taste for sure, but I'll happily lap it up. The kind of book I will drop everything to read. Just wonderful.
