This is the second book in the Slow Horses series, and while not quite as interesting as the first book it was still quite enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is still a brisk pace, with witty comments. It is written in the same unique style, shifting characters within the same chapter and trying to intentionally mislead you with various mini-cliffhangers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also again we have the cutthroat interagency rivalry and most of the same characters that were introduced in the first book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But some things are different – there are some actors outside of British government at work here, there is a surprising death, and a few references to the current political climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes the dialogue comes off a bit clunky, and the story strays occasionally too far into the realm of unbelievability, but it was fun to read. These are great books for a long airplane ride and I look forward to making my way through the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next book I am reading is Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
