Bad Actors by Mick Herron Book Summary

Mick Herron, “the le Carré of the future” (BBC), expands his world of bad spies with an even shadier cast of characters: the politicians, lobbyists, and misinformation agents pulling the levers of government policy.
 
“Confirms Mick Herron as the best spy novelist now working.”—NPR's Fresh Air
 
Now an Apple TV+ series starring Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas.

In London's MI5 headquarters a scandal is brewing that could disgrace the entire intelligence community. The Downing Street superforecaster—a specialist who advises the Prime Minister's office on how policy is likely to be received by the electorate—has disappeared without a trace. Claude Whelan, who was once head of MI5, has been tasked with tracking her down. 
 
But the trail leads him straight back to Regent's Park itself, with First Desk Diana Taverner as chief suspect. Has Taverner overplayed her hand at last? Meanwhile, her Russian counterpart, Moscow intelligence's First Desk, has cheekily showed up in London and shaken off his escort. Are the two unfortunate events connected?

Over at Slough House, where Jackson Lamb presides over some of MI5's most embittered demoted agents, the slow horses are doing what they do best, and adding a little bit of chaos to an already unstable situation . . . 

There are bad actors everywhere, and they usually get their comeuppance before the credits roll. But politics is a dirty business, and in a world where lying, cheating and backstabbing are the norm, sometimes the good guys can find themselves outgunned.

Best one yet. Shirley Danders is a national treasure

Underwhelming. Compared to previous sloughouse novels, this seemed hurriedly fleshed out, poorly paced, jarring back and forth storylines. Herron didn’t have his heart in this one. And to leave us wanting to see the final confrontation between Sparrow and Taverner, and getting instead unsatisfying vignettes of the main characters…….well some might say minimalism is better than a wallop over the head, and that’s Herron’s glib style, but this novel needed a bang somewhere in those chapters and it never delivered. And how the Russian secret service would deal with the Russian first desk’s disappearance? It’s consequences?completely not explained or thought out. Almost an aside. Silly actually. No drama. I’m sorry but I was expecting more from this long awaited addition to the series.

Great book. So good - funny and smart - mick has such a way with words and they just conjure up such lively images of the characters and actions - hope this one gets to be on the apple tv series too !

I tried to drag it out….. Didn’t want the story to end. So I put it down and occupied myself with stupid until I had to finish. And I did, at 1:00 am not being able to sleep. Brilliant as always.

Great characters. Fast-moving and witty, most entertaining book in the series !

Another winner. A little slow to take off but once it does you won’t want to stop reading. Lamb as usual is ahead of everyone.

Another winner. I love these books! The characters are fantastic. I can see Boris Johnson in the background. I always finish these books ready for the next!

Half as good. Felt like it should have been novella.

The actors. Terrific. Best of its kind.

8 in three weeks!. Once starting the Slow Horse series in early January, I just couldn’t stop! The characters, their dialog, the exciting espionage scenarios all make for a wonderful ride around London “secret” world of MI5. You want to read quickly because of the action, but you actually read slower to savor the humor, sarcasm, and Britishness. Can’t wait til the ninth book is out.
