review 1: Thoroughly enjoyed another Francis book and it even has racing as well as investment practices in England. I did not know it was illegal to gamble on the internet in the US and legal in Britain. Very suspenseful and Nick discovers bits and pieces as he goes along and puts it all together. I have to say I worried about his neck all the way through. You'd think I would have worried more about the bullets and knives. His dealings with the police in three different counties of England were a riot. Suspicious minds. I loved it.
review 2: Listened to the audio book version which had me hooked for a week while running and driving. I hadn't read any Dick Francis for years and was always a little sceptical of likelihood of former jockeys turning detective. When ... morean injured former jockey and financial adviser Nick Foxton's work colleague is shot dead next to him at The Grand National race meeting, a series of events follow that ensure that Nick becomes the next target of the assassin. While sometimes straying into absurdity and containing any number of excruciating female characters the excitement rarely lets up. It might have been a better book without any of the stereotypical women in it at all or they should at least remain silent! Perhaps they read better than they sound. Foxton is occasionally inspired but daft enough to continually ignore THE obvious clue which might hold the key to the mystery and is very careful to make sure the bad people know exactly where he is so that they can come and shoot at him. Felix Francis is a worthy successor to his father. less
