Thank you to the Prairie Trails Public Library in Burbank Illinois for seeing fit to lend me the 3rd installment of the Jackson Lamb "Slow Horse" series.
I love getting to know more about this group of MI5 operatives who have each done something that got them reassigned to their current "remedial" job. Mostly wrongly of course, them being the ones who always save the day.
I can not say enough good things about this series and I am going to have to insist that you give it a listen. Clever writing without being overly wordy, British accents and phrases, a truly interesting and unusual cast of characters. Very high recommendation.
I've just realised you have a different narrator to our British one. I wish you could hear Sean Barrett - he's one of the jewels in Audible's crown. And that's saying something.
This is my favourite series of Audible books, witty and really well written. I'm so glad you're enjoying them.

Thanks for the recommendation!
My library thinks they are written by Mick Herron. It has a terrible search, and didn't find Jackson Lamb at all. Google knew, so then I went back to my library with Mick's name, and it was all "why didn't you say so?"...........

Chrissy: I LOVE this series and am trying to space them out so I can re-visit my friends at Slough House regularly. Can't wait to see what happens in installment #4. You are the BEST for recommending it. This reader is pretty good by the way. I will have to look for a book read by Sean Barrett though. I do love a good narrator.

Vicki: I should have clarified that they are indeed written by Mick Herron but they are known as the Jackson Lamb series after one of the characters. Glad you found them though. You will not be disappointed.
