Spook Street, by Mick Herron

 

In the 4th novel in the Slow Horses series by Mick Herron, one of the main characters disappears after his grandfather, who has dementia, kills an intruder. River is trying to figure out who's trying to kill his grandfather, and Jackson Lamb and the other slow horses are trying to do the same and also find out where River is. This book raises an interesting question about what happens to people who know a lot of secrets get dementia. How does the government keep the secrets safe along with the people who hold them? This series just keeps getting better and better. The writing is so good that it just propels the narrative along. The characters are funny and quirky, and the dialog hilarious.
