This book has tension. Dark humor. Twists that hit hard. No flashy gadgets. Just spies doing dirty work.

The Secrets Hours is absolutely fantastic, probably the best book in the series, and it's not actually a mainline #SlowHorses book. It may take me a couple of toots to explain just why it hit so well for me.
If you're a #SloughHouse book completist and have read all the shorts, you've had glimpses of a couple a story in Berlin with Molly and Jackson. The Secret Hours basically lets us in on the rest of it. Heron does it in a very clever way that sort of makes this 3 books in 1...

Dysmorphia💛🤍💜🖤Apr 9

I finished reading the entire Slough House series, novellas included and wonder what I should read next. I previously read Le Carre’s The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and found it way too grim. My experience with spy fiction is limited aside from that. I seem to like the sweet and sour combination of grim and funny generally, like Laundry Files which is a bit more grim, or Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency which is a bit more funny. #bookstodon #SloughHouse #SpyFiction

Len Deighton revolutionized spy fiction with his unnamed, working-class anti-heroes whose cynical realism and bureaucratic worlds offered a sharp contrast to glamorous spies, leaving a lasting mark on the genre. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/03/24/world/len-deighton-dies-aged-97/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #lendeighton #authors #literature #movies #harrypalmer #michaelcaine #sloughhouse #slowhorses #ianfleming #johnlecarre #jamesbond #georgesmiley #bernardsamson

Six decades ago, Len Deighton created a man for our times

Unlike Ian Fleming and John le Carre, creators of James Bond and George Smiley, respectively, Deighton never worked for the British intelligence service.

Schaue gerade #SlowHorses auf AppleTV.
Stelle mir vor, wie ein deutsches Remake aussähe.

Dann merke ich … Ach das geht nicht, weil beim BfV eine Entsprechung zum „Regent‘s Park“ fehlt und nur #SloughHouse da ist. 🤷

Just finished reading the new Slough House book by Mick Herron - Clown Town.

Not as good as some of the others in the series. I got the feeling that Herron may be getting tired. Yes, it does have the usual characters and Lamb seems to be more obnoxious that usual.
