4.5/5 This is the second McIntyre book I read with his first being one of my favorite reads of the last few years. I thought this was a very well told version of events around Philby given the confidential nature of the topic. McIntyre avoids opining on the archaic nature of old school spy recruitment and the damage it had on UK’s security, but the manipulation by Philby is well portrayed and truly shocking

Incredibly detailed and well painted plot with more Sci-Fi elements than I initially expected. The detail and scientific theories can be a little overwhelming at times but the jovial tone that Weir typically uses is present throughout and an enjoyable read as a result. I did not read as fast as usual but nonetheless a good read. Would really only recommend to Sci-Fi fans but would recommend to all of them

An enjoyable and informative review of key moments in Slow Horses that remain unspoken in the initial series. Background to Molly, Jackson and OB helpful and enjoyable

Semi-biographical semi-finance/political thriller. An incredibly well told story of one firm’s experiences in Russia offering a unique insight into the rise of post USSR wealth concentration in Putin’s Russia. Would highly recommend

Fascinating retelling of Bill Browder’s story from his upbringing and interest in Eastern Europe to his dealings with Russia both professionally and personally. In an opaque nation, Red Notice offers a unique insight into Russia’s operating procedures highlighting the rise of covert wealth and the methods to keep it
