"Slow Horses" by Mick Herron

“I'm not sure what prompted me to pick up this British spy thriller. What I do know is that I didn't expect to become immediately hooked on the entire series, which follows the exploits of a team of washed-up MI-5 agents who have been banished to the administrative backwater of the aptly-named Slough House. While freshly disgraced new guy River Cartwright is the main character, the team's horrific boss is the real star of the show. Jackson Lamb--slovenly, unkempt, often drunk and disorderly--maintains a work environment that is best described as hostile, yet proves to be fiercely protective of his people when they are threatened. Watching Lamb and his team accidentally fall into a ripped-from-the-headlines terrorism case is highly entertaining. Recommended for anyone who enjoys a suspenseful espionage story with an intricate plot and a large cast of flawed but likable characters.” --Brett, Collection Development
