I really enjoyed this second book in the Slow Horses series by author Mick Herron. The story begins when a retired spy notices a former Soviet agent; he follows him but ends up killed. When Jackson Lamb finds out about the death, he immediately suspects that it's murder and he begins to investigate, crossing paths with another MI5 agent who's trying to recruit a Russian oligarch to be an intelligence asset. As in the first book, some of the agents at Slough House are used by the central leadership of MI5 to support the recruitment effort, while others are working with Jackson to investigate the murder of his former colleague. This book was easier to follow than the first because so many of the characters were already introduced. The action and intrigue in this story are page turning and lead to a very exciting climax. I can't wait to read the next one!
