" What little I know about horse racing I owe to Dick Francis--I really like the way he interweaves his stories. I try to out guess him. "

Anna Macdonald | 10/19/2013
" Really 3.5 stars. I do enjoy a good Dick Francis, and I'm bummed that I've read nearly all. "

" As usual very enjoyable. Francis is the master of creating engaging and likeable protagonists. Not my favorite but certainly enjoyable. "

David Macpherson | 9/27/2013
" The mystery wasn't much but the world he created was great. The steeple chase world is so well drawn and the class issues were fascinating. "

Deirdre S. | 7/28/2013
" A great story about a miscarriage of justice, as a steeplechase jockey is framed for offenses that result in his racing license being withdrawn and his reputation mangled. This is sure to mark the end of his career unless he can figure out who has it in for him and the trainer he rides for. "

Contrarius | 12/24/2011
" This Francis novel somehow seems less eventful or perhaps tense to me than most of his others. The narrator, Tony Britton, does a fine job, including good work with an American accent. "

" Love his horsey intrigue. "

" I always enjoy a Dick Franics. I like the horse racing angle. This one was good reading during a long plane flight. "

Candace Camp | 9/29/2011
" This is one of my favorite Dick Francis books. I particularly liked the pairing in this one of the jockey and the snobby trainer's daughter. His couples are frequently kind of different, and I like that about his books. "
-




Lisa Hayes | 7/5/2011
" The "Recorded Books" guy reading it was pretty bad, which is unusual for that company. The story was very compelling. I only "listen" to Dick Francis--I can't stand reading him for some reason. I really enjoy them on cd in the car though. "

Greg Davies | 6/30/2011

" Just finished. Think I prefer some of his later ones.
It's interesting as a writer to watch how Francis builds tension.
