Spook Street by Mick HerronMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
River Cartwright, Jackson Lamb and the rest of the Slow Horses are back in this fourth installment of Mick Herron's Slough House series, including two new faces in the group. River's grandfather is a retired MI-5 operative, but River has been concerned about his grip on reality recently and has started visiting him more often. In another story line, there has been a bombing in a London shopping center which killed more than 40 people.
The action is fast-paced and there are multiple locations around London, Kent and even into France. Chapter sections switch back and forth between all of the players, keeping the reader in suspense. Bits of humor are interspersed throughout, usually involving Jackson Lamb's personal hygiene and political incorrectness. Personally, I have been loving the Apple TV+ streaming version of the novels, and look forward to more books in the series and more seasons of the show.
