Mick Herron. First book I read I really struggled with. He likes obscenely long sentences, with lots of punctuation, which don’t scan properly if you aren’t paying attention. He also used too many words I didn’t understand and couldn’t even guess at despite the context. The second title I tried had way fewer of the original issues I had with him, which resulted in a much more enjoyable experience. Glad I persevered because the Jackson Lamb novels are thoroughly entertaining!
