Eclectic Human#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.
