Can somebody help me out: I've read all the Slow Horses novels, as well as the novellas, and I'd've sworn that somewhere in there, Molly Doran had her throat opened by a bad actor (and Jackson Lamb found her bloodied corpse - all this in the "Recent Then" times). But, in the post-pandemic "Now" of TSH we have her alive, telling the Berlin story ("Long-ago Then"). Is this a glitch in the sequence or in my head?

Jamie I think it’s in your head. I’ve read them all and don’t remember Molly being murdered. Can anyone else weigh in here?
