Book Review of Slow Horses (Slough House, Bk 1)

Slow Horses (Slough House, Bk 1)


This was a unique spy novel with a clever plot and quirky characters. The "slow horses" (as the Slough House occupants are referred to as) consists of former spies, or "spooks" as they call themselves who made a whopper of a mistake somewhere along the way that sidetracked their careers and left them in this dead end existence. But being a spy is all they know so they hope for a chance to get back in the game. The plot takes some twists and this group of bitter misfits begrudgingly work together to possibly salvage their reputations and improve their lot. I will definitely be reading the next in this series.
