Risk Audiobook

" Dick Francis books are fun to read because the setting is always about horseracing. So, while you get a little bit of thriller action, you also get a peek into the world of racing horses. And in the case of Risk, into the world of accountants. A thriller about an accountant--who woulda thunk? "

" Supposedly the Queen Mum found this one a little too saucy ! "

" Brilliant story, tense, edge of your seat stuff, Roland Britten, an accountant is also a part time jockey, after repeated kidnap attempts and with no one taking him seriously and the police not helping at all he sets about investigating himself and uncovers crime and corruption. "

" Roland Britten, accountant and steeplechase jockey, is kidnapped after winning the Gold Cup. He doesn't know who the captors are or why he has been kidnapped. Pretty good book, but I was a bit disappointed in the ending. "

" It's been about 20 years since I last read a Dick Francis novel, and I'd forgotten how the main character never shares anything he learns until the big reveal at the end. I now find this slightly annoying. But I still have nostalgic fondness for these British-racing-world mysteries. "

" Hero: Roland Britten, Accountant. This was one of the few Francis novels that dealt with the amateur's involvement in British horesracing. It was a good one, too. "

" Hilary Pinlock was the best part of the book. "

" Not the best Francis novel, but even mediocre Francis is better than most authors can achieve. "

" This story has an accountant who is an amateur steeplechaser abducted twice and how he discovers the reasons for it. I always find it difficult to put these books down, and this was as good as usual. "

" I do love Dick Francis. Easy to ead with lots of detail that doesn't bore, rather colours the story to make it believable and rivetting. "

" fun to read! the main character is a horse jockey/accountant. who knew accountants could be so exciting! "

" I enjoyed this little tale about Roland the accountant that has horseracing in his blood, but due to a huge streak of honesty manages to get himself kidnapped! It all ends well, well sort of! "

" Accounting and horse racing??again great characters and wonderful plot--will not disappoint. "

" I read this just a few months back. Though dated, it was a good read. To throw an accountant who sidelines as a jockey into a kidnapping mystery took guts. Francis pulled it off wonderfully. "

" Roland Britton is an accountant and part-time jockey. After winning a race he is kidnapped. When Roland escapes and resumes his audits, he is kidnapped a second time. He has to find out who is responsible to protect himself. "

" Another Francis book I read as a kid. In this one, an accountant/amateur jockey has a mystery to solve- who keeps abducting him and why? "

" Could not get through the book. Read about half until I could get to the library to find something better to read. Language is very dated from 1977. No story line on any interest. "
