London, England: Slough House is where the washed-up MI5 spies go to while away what’s left of their failed careers. The “slow horses,” as they’re called, have all disgraced themselves in some way to get relegated here. Maybe they messed up an op badly and can’t be trusted anymore. Maybe they got in the way of an ambitious colleague and had the rug yanked out from under them. Maybe they just got too dependent on the bottle—not unusual in this line of work. One thing they all have in common, though, is they all want to be back in the action. And most of them would do anything to get there─even if it means having to collaborate with one another.

Maybe the world of secret agents isn’t for me. Because it was the first book about a secret agent I’ve read and I ended up DNF-ing it pretty fast. 

The plot here wasn’t my type to be honest. I had super hard time trying to get into the plot. My main problem with this plot is that is overly complicated. And the beginning of this book is very very slow. 

The use of acronyms and nicknames was irritating because it was overused and it was super confusing trying yo remember who had which nickname and what these different acronyms meant in this book.

Characters in this book to be honest feel like the same person just using different clothes. There are couple of characters in this book and I just can’t name one of them because I just didn’t care for them and I just couldn’t find myself to even try to like them. 

The main character feels more like a side character because a whole chapter can go by without the main character being even mentioned- 

The writing style here was probably the best part of this book but still I felt like there was something missing here. The writing style here felt over complicated and it felt like it was written as a school textbook rather than a mystery / thriller book

This book is very chaotic and very confusing. I personnel had super hard time trying to focus on the plot which almost didn’t exist in this book. 

I Give This Book 1 / 5
