The Secret Hours
☆ Shortlisted for the 2024 CWA Gold Dagger
The Secret Hours is a standalone spy novel by Mick Herron, author of the very popular Slough House series. These are slow-burn reads, featuring dysfunctional bureaucracy and people—somewhat reminiscent of The Office—but in a spy setting. In this book, the action opens deep in the British countryside but is mainly set in contemporary London and Berlin after the end of the Cold War.
