I was immediately put off by the abandoning of all dialogue grammar; no quotes and no paragraph breaks for each voice and few periods.
I hate this kind of thing, which serves no purpose but to make a book harder to read, and would chuck the book down for that alone.
Bad Actors by Mick Herron, the latest in his Slough House series....I'm just hoping it's an improvement over his somewhat dull previous offering
