Joan Mackenzie: Slough House and The Royal Correspondent

Slough House by Mick HerronSlough House by Mick Herron is the 7th in a fabulous series set in the world of MI5 – the place of the title is an office building where disgraced MI5 operatives are sent and spend their working days in a kind of purgatory, supervised by Jackson Lamb – a slothful, boorish, witty and possibly genius manager. The Royal Correspondent by Alexandra JoelThe Royal Correspondent by Alexandra Joel is set in the swinging 60’s, during Princess Margaret’s marriage to an unconventional photographer sparked interest around the world. In this novel based on that event, Blaise Hill is a feisty young journalist from a rough neighbourhood in Sydney who’s sent to London to cover it, and finds herself caught in a world of love and betrayal, family secrets and conspiracy in the heart of high society.LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
