FEATURED REVIEW
Slow Horses
Mick Herron
Slow Horses is the first in the Slough House series of books about British espionage agents who due to career screw-ups have all been relegated to a department for misfits to complete their failed careers--hence the title Slow Horses. Part of this team, through a set of circumstances, find themselves thrust to the forefront of solving a terrorist kidnapping and assassination plot. The great assortment of characters are tragic, yet humorous. The book is fast paced, with lots of twists and a surprising ending. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

So many books, so little time. Right, right - we’ve all heard it many times. Hummingbird's new BOOK SHORTS will present book reviews you can read in a minute and capture the essence of the story, thumbnail reviews that hopefully will entice you into your next read. I read constantly. My tastes vary, so I’ll review books that I love, not necessarily current books. Other HB contributors will review books that follow their interests, both newly published and past. All in all, we’ll review books we think are captivating, compelling, unputdownable. If you’re looking for a good book to take to the beach, make that long commute shorter, or curl up with, hopefully our reviews will help you find it. Lynda Bernard
