Reconstruction by Mick Herron
And Mick Herron returns to form. It probably helps that one of the main characters Bad Sam Chapman appears in the Slough House novels as well. It's a tightly plotted story. The whole book takes course over one day with a few flashbacks to flesh out the story. Basically, there is a hostage situation at the Oxford Nursery School and one of the accountants from the Security Services is who the hostage wants to talk to. It has a good twist. It's got some humor. Herron does give free reign to some of his more poetic inclinations in some of the novels but he keeps it in tight check here.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
