Enjoy, food sport ,humour.whats not to like.

Not a Slough house book but definitely a slow horse. I enjoyed the Jackson Lamb series but this is not in the same league. A turgid political diatribe ticking all the left wing boxes. The author obviously has a thing about Boris Johnson and repeatedly under different names uses him as the baddie. This is the last book of his I shall buy having been disappointed with his non Jackson Lamb stories. I wonder if he uses AI to write them they are so flat.

Really great book. Normally I tear through a book I like finishing in a couple of days. This one I found so intense that I could only read a couple of pages at a time. Graham Norton is to my surprise a really talented author. The writing is so good you get pulled into the story, as I said I found I could only handle it in small doses.

It doesn't actually deserve the one star I gave it. Really irritating to read, like reading a series of sound bites. It doesn't develop any sense of the atmosphere of the time. The author obviously wasn't there at the time or was 3 years old or so.
