I am a card-carrying fan of Mick Herron's Slow Horses series, and the latest instalment, Clown Town, is terrific! He's such a good writer. This one has real spies, failed spies, and blackmailing pensioner spies.

The Mistress of Bhatia House by Sujata Masseyhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
An odd, very short read is the story Aghwee The Sky Monster by Japanese writer Kenzaburō Ōe. His bio on GR says in 1994, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for creating "an imagined world, where life and myth condense to form a disconcerting picture of the human predicament today."Of course I read the English translation, but I assume it is every bit as intriguing and quirky in Japanese.
My review of Aghwee The Sky MonsterI've added a link to an English translation of the story where you can read or download it.
