Book Review: Real Tigers by Mick Herron (Slough House / Slow Horses #3)

Real Tigers Real Tigers by Mick Herron
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third in the Slough House / Slow Horses series by Mick Herron, and it is just a fast-paced and page-turning as the first two books.  Many of the same Slow Horses characters are seen again here, along with two new 'recruits.'  Catherine Standish is kidnapped early in the book, and her teammates set out to find and rescue her only to discover that it's part of a much larger plot against MI-5.  In spite of the fact that they have been away from the action and removed from field work, they are able to work together to accomplish what MI-5 wasn't able to, proving again that you can always depend on the Slow Horses.

I love delving into the characters of each of the agents, and also really appreciate the dark humor.  Once again, I'm glad I read the Kindle version so I could easily look up the various British slang terms.
