Our monthly book group welcomes anyone passionate about literature and who enjoys engaging in discussions about its themes with others who share their enthusiasm.

Slow Horses by Mick Herron, is the first novel in the sardonic spy series which introduces the reader to Jackson Lamb and the hapless inhabitants of Slough House, a haven for washed-up spooks with something to prove. When a boy is kidnapped and held hostage and his attackers promise to behead him live on the net, a chance opens for the slow horses to redeem themselves and, whatever the instructions of the Service, they aren't going to just sit quiet and watch. ’The most exciting development in spy fiction since the Cold War’ The Times. Now made into a popular TV series.

The discussion will be led by Peter Hammond.
