I have been trying unsuccessfully to get my friends interested enough to read this series for years now because I desperately want to talk about it with someone, lol! I made a plea on FB last fall and a bunch of people said they would start reading the first book but... nothing. Apple TV+ finally debuted the first two episodes of the adaptation on Friday. This at least convinced my son to read the first book - only 7 books to go! Has anyone here read the series or is at least interested in reading it after watching the first shows of the adaptation?

I had no idea it was a book. We just watched the two episodes last night -- FANTASTIC!
I'm totally going to read the books.

I am looking for something new. I think either myself or my husband might like the books. I'm going to give the show a try today, it looks right up my alley. Thanks!

And, right now the first book is only $2.99 for the Kindle version. Perfect!

A bit of a slow start to episode 1 but I'm giving it time.
I was sad to see that Kirstin Scott Thomas or whatever get name is wasn't Helen Mirren when she turned around to the camera. DC Tennyson would have never allowed such a slip up.

Finished Slow Horses. Starting on Dead Lions. Took a bit of effort at first to get my head around all the characters and how the scenes keep changing mid conversation. But I am enjoying this series. Thanks for tweaking my interest, Sarah*H. |

I'm not reading the thread because I don't want to see any spoilers but I started it last night and I'm really enjoying it. Only watched the first episode and liked it a lot.

Gary Oldman just keeps getting better and better. The scene with The Proclaimers music was brilliant. I could not stop laughing.

Oh, I completely misunderstood what these were. I thought “slough” was a different pronunciation of “slow” and I was very confused! I think the Louis/Lewis thread has blown my mind slightly. I shall add this series to my reading list, thank you!

So what is the name of the book/series? Slough House or Slow Horses? Both. The first book is called Slow Horses (Slough House#1.) To further complicate matters, the most recent book published last year is Slough House (Slough House #7.) I think the one coming out in May is going to be the final book. ETA: I'm editing this because the book that came out in May is definitely not the end of the series. |
