I enjoy these Slough House short stories. The Drop was not particularly action filled, not particularly thrilling, but it serves as a nice little interlude between the novels. And through the event, we get to see how an incidental character in this story, who popped up as the new character in the previous Slow Horses, ended up being sent to Slough House.

As this point I would say that anyone who’s reading the Slow Horses books should be reading these short stories as well - but I’m sure they already are.
