I found the first 40 to 50 pages such hard work that I put the book down for a couple of weeks. I started again and enjoyed it eventually. I'm hoping the next one will be easier to read , otherwise I'll forget the rest of the series.

A friend always reads 100 pages of a book but if they donā€™t like it by then they give up.

Thanks for the ā€œgive a book 2 goesā€ reminder.
ā€˜Think Iā€™ll buy the 1st two Slough House books. If I like ā€˜em the rest can be on my pressie list šŸ¤Ŗ

I remember starting Downbelow Station and not getting on with it. Months later I gave it another go and it was a brilliant sci fi novel.

Recommended. The books are so much better than the tv series. Herrons older books (ZoeBeam) are a bit long winded but that's all part of learning the craft.
