3. Amanda Anisimova winning one of the best matches of the year against Sabalenka in Wimbledon semifinals only to receive a brutal 0-6 0-6 drubbing from Iga and somehow manage to win ANOTHER one of the best matches of the year (USO semifinal against Osaka) to reach 2 consecutive major finals.

Mmm I remember reading Greenwell and being disappointed by the “temperature” of the smut.
But now that I think about it, there is a fair amount of sex in Taylor’s “filthy animals” (the short story collection), which is probably my favorite of his after the first book, “Real Life.”

Exactly! What the TV show adaptation does very well from the books is that one way of looking at the story is that it’s a workplace comedy, with a dreadful boss and iffy coworkers (at the Park AND at Slough House). With machine guns and international sociopolitical implications. #SlowHorses

What makes the “Slow Horses” books so compelling in my eyes (in addition to the crackerjack writing) is the unusual combination of humor, thriller, and Herron’s cold-blooded commitment to killing off his characters. The Lamb-Taverner axis is interesting but not the best part, IMHO.
