Reviews

Praise for Mick Herron's Jackson Lamb series:
*.*

The new spy master
*Evening Standard*

Jackson Lamb - the most fascinating and irresistible thriller series hero to emerge since Jack Reacher
*Sunday Times*

As a master of wit, satire, insight . . . Herron is difficult to overpraise
*Daily Telegraph*

The finest new crime series this Millennium
*Mail on Sunday*

The best modern British spy series
*Daily Express*

The John le Carré of our generation
*Val McDermid*

Mick Herron is the real deal
*Irish Times*

If you read one spy novel this year, read Real Tigers. Better still, read the whole series
*Andrew Taylor, The Spectator*

Surely among the finest British spy fiction of the past 20 years
*Metro*

With his poet's eye for detail, his comic timing and relish for violence, Herron fills a gap that has been yawning ever since Len Deighton retired
*Daily Telegraph*

The most enjoyable spy novel in years
*Mail on Sunday*

A funny, stylish, satirical, gripping story
*Guardian*

I was delighted to discover that this is merely the first in a captivating series
*Herald*

The first of his series about MI5 and a character called Jackson Lamb, one of the great monsters of modern fiction. He's a wonderfully cynical writer and there's a lot of dark humour in it. I'm not clever enough to write this sort of thing
*Daily Express*

I was delighted to discover Mick Herron's riotous Slow Horses series about the black sheep of MI5
*Big Issue*

For something really gripping, head for Mick Herron's Jackson Lamb series, in which a sidelined spook and his cohorts battle their way back to the centre of a life of espionage. Begin with Slow Horses and enjoy
*Observer*

Mick Herron's Slow Horses series has all the thrills of John Le Carre or Len Deighton with a black humour
*Daily Mail (Scotland)*

One of the most consistently enjoyable literary achievements of the past decade
*The Times*
