### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Standalone spy novel set in Slow Horse universe is intricate and engaging
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on 13 October 2023*

Set in the same universe as the Slow Horse series but with new characters, this Mick Herron novel provides a window into how intelligence services handle being the target of an investigation. The story takes place in 1994 post-Wall Berlin, and 2014 in London. In 1994, Berlin may have torn down the barriers between East and West, but those in the spy world remained divided. Alison, an ambitious young woman, was sent by Regent’s Park (read MI5) to conduct an internal investigation into how well the Berlin office was functioning. In particular, she was to spy on the activities of Miles, the office head, and her boss. As a relatively new Park employee, Alison is flattered but slightly overwhelmed at the position offered and by the man offering it. David Cartwright was a heavyweight and a man you didn’t say no to.Fast forward to 2014 in London, and a similar operation is in play. This time, a vengeful Prime Minister launches an inquiry into Regent Park’s possible misdeeds through Operation Monochrome. The duo in charge, Grizelda, considered a troublemaker, and Malcolm, a meticulous assistant, are to pry into the Park’s activities. Many of the organization’s functions are being outsourced, and those in charge are determined to hold on to their territory. A mysterious file is given to Malcolm, which causes the team to probe into what happened in Berlin in 1994. As soon as they start delving into the file, Monochrome is shuttered. Grizelda and Malcolm decide on their own to finish what they started and rely on witness Alison, who is still with Regent’s Park, to provide answers.If the plot seems intricate, that’s because it is. In this tale, Herron employs his trademark wit, suspense, and understanding of the espionage world. This complex novel isn’t meant to be read a few pages at a time. It would be too hard to get back into the moment. From the opening scene, readers are plunged into a dizzying world that requires focus, as characters constantly scrutinize each other, scrambling to avoid traps. Code names and pseudonyms proliferate. Readers of the Slow Horse series will recognize a particular character whose background and story are finally revealed at the very end. I highly recommend this novel to fans of John Le Carré and spy novels in general.
