And about 25% of those were sustained belly laughs. The humor comes in the form of the narrator’s satirical observations and the character’s invective banter and vulgar puns, frequently delivered unexpectedly in dramatic situations. Lamb has the most punchlines but all the main characters at times deliver slashing comebacks and biting sarcasm.Action.This book has plenty of action. Mass shootings, fights, gun fights — it all drives the plot forward and adds suspense. Genuine suspense, not the “action thriller” suspense in bad movies that translates to insipid, implausible and insufferable. The reader cares about the characters and never knows who’s going to die. It keeps the action interesting.Drama.Most of the characters in London Rules are tormented. They struggle with addictions, PTSD, the memories of murdered or lost loved ones, their dead-end careers, their frustrated political aspirations, their sexual peccadillos. Their struggles tinge all interactions with tension. And when the characters hurt, we empathize with their pains because we know them well.The narration is top notch, full of pop culture references and detailed descriptions of scenes. The diction is precise. Be sure to look up words you don’t know. For example, if you don’t know the meaning of “vajazzle,” look it up when you see it in London Rules. You’ll get a laugh for your effort. The narrator personifies different parts of the day (for example, dawn) and depicts it creeping through and observing Slough House. Definitely literary. Definitely difficult to do in an entertaining way. Mick Herron pulls it off with aplomb. I’ll leave you with a sample:“On (dawn) goes, down the final set of stairs, and somehow passes through the back door without recourse to the shove this usually requires, the door being famously resistant to casual use.” ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Dependable as ever…. *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2024* Not the best of the series, but as always, an enjoyable story. I found the humor to be cranked up a little more, the sense of danger slightly less. Some revelations on past events and a bit of a cliff hanger moment at the end has me looking forward to the next book in the series. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Well-crafted, humorous, and thrilling spy story involving terrorists and misfit spies *by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2021* This fifth installment in the Slow Horse/Slough House spy novel series provides the same thrills and sarcastic humor I’ve come to expect from Mick Herron. The story starts with a terrorist attack on villagers in Derbyshire. A jeep bearing all black-clad men with machine guns comes careening through a small village. The men open fire, gunning down innocent people going about their daily business, men, women, and children. Outrage resonates throughout England, sending shock waves through the intelligence community.Claude Whelen, the current head of Regent’s Park (MI5), is in trouble. Not only did his agents fail to anticipate the attack, but he is also caught in a compromising situation when a current Member of Parliament antagonistic to Regent’s Park is killed, and he is the last known person to see the man alive. Whelen’s precarious position is not improved by Diana Taverner, second in command at Regent’s Park, angling to usurp him.The slow horses come into the picture when it becomes known that Rodney Ho, the resident technogeek and aspiring Lothario, leaks intelligence information to a girl pretending to be his girlfriend. In charge of the slow horses, Jackson Lamb must put his team on the front line to stop the terrorists, salvage Rodney, and stay one step ahead of the A-team spymasters at Regent’s Park. Of course, as the agents track the terrorists, nothing is what it seems.Herron displays his usual in-depth knowledge of spycraft and politics, cheekily written scenes of the misfit spooks, and masterful descriptions of slow horse headquarters in Dickensian style. I alternate between savoring each well-crafted line, laughing out loud, and racing through the pages in suspense. Like the other books in the series, this one may be read as a standalone, but it is so much more enjoyable when you know the characters’ backstories that have been built carefully from the first one. If you like your mysteries and spy novels well-written, darkly humorous, and thrilling, you’ll love this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - London Rules (Slough House) - Joe Country (Slough House) - Spook Street (Slough House) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/180110138-london-rules-slough-house](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/180110138-london-rules-slough-house) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
