I always enjoy a Slough House novel, but they do appear to be subject to the Law of Diminishing Returns and it is a very similar story each time. I like the wit and the put-downs, but as the action accelerates towards the end and there are multiple fights and chases in multiple locations I struggle to follow what is happening. Mick Herron has just released a non-Slough House novel, I'll be checking out to see if it any fresher. Tomorrow I'm heading up to Inverness for Duncan's 50th. not sure what to expect, who will be there, what we'll be doing, and to be honest I could do without it, but I want to be there for Dunc.
