English crime author Mick Herron didn’t begin his writing career with the Slough House series, but there’s no doubt these novels represent his most successful work.

Apple TV+ today unveiled the trailer for the much anticipated second season of “Slow Horses,” the globally acclaimed espionage series starring Academy Award winner Gary Oldman, which will make its global debut on Friday, 2 December. Rebecca recounts that Min was attacked and run over by Piotr and Kyril, and finished off by Chernitsky before his death was staged. It is a tale that is always absorbing, one not always easy to follow, but which retains the attention until the last page. However, one of the business men behind the deal, looking to make contacts in Russia, passes on sensitive information to the GRU who are looking to escalate matters.The complex plot drags a bit in the middle, as Herron gets quite a number of balls in the air, but once he does, the narrative picks up real steam and becomes genuinely thrilling. Lucas had seen something he shouldn’t have whilst working a holiday job and his attempt at exploiting the situation is having profound consequences. What really interests me is the characters and getting to grips with them, and them getting to grips with each other.
