Is Down Cemetery Road related to Slow Horses? As previously mentioned, Down Cemetery Road is based on another series of novels by Mick Herron. The Zoë Boehm books actually predate the Slough House stories with Down Cemetery Road being his debut novel. Despite being by the same author, there is not much crossover between the two series. The Zoë Boehm books are set in the world of private investigators and not spies. The only real connection is sharing the same author and both being turned into shows on Apple TV. The Zoë Boehm series had four books between 2003 and 2009. On the topic of Slow Horses, find out what time the season five finale will be released this week.
