Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 46
hampion jockey Robert Sherman has disappeared right before his wife was about to give birth. And right before he was sure to win the National. A coincidence? British investigator David Cleveland doesn’t think so. He’s convinced someone made Sherman disappear, but with every answer David gets, the body count rises. And if he isn’t careful, the next body might just be his own.

Chekov’s column had recently recommended some ‘can’t-lose’ horses, who then wound up out of the running on race day. Tyrone thinks he can prove it was murder, but he may not live to tell the tale. Because as the dead man has already made clear, there’s no such thing as a sure thing...

The victory was hollow for Alan. He had been running a close second behind his good friend Bill Davidson, when Bill’s horse unexpectedly jerked as he soared over the steeplechase fence. Now, Bill was dead from his injuries, and Alan knew it wasn’t an accident. A small menacing thread of wire dangled from the top of the fence—a carefully constructed plot of malice. Curious, Alan begins an investigation that points to corruption that transcends the racing circuit—seeping into the town surrounding the track.

The other, stranger memories begin nine years ago, when she was 10 and gate-crashed an odd funeral in the mansion near her grandmother's house. Polly's just beginning to recall the sometimes marvelous, sometimes frightening adventures she embarked on with Tom Lynn after that. And then she did something terrible, and everything changed. But what did she do? Why can't she remember? Polly must uncover the secret, or her true love - and perhaps Polly herself - will be lost.

Dick Francis’ witty blend of horseplay and mystery is an incredible combination. As a result, each of his equestrian novels gallops onto best-seller lists. In Twice Shy, Dick Francis whips up a fast-paced race through the risky world of horse betting. It begins when, offering little explanation, a friend thrusts some cassette tapes into Jonathan Derry’s hands. But when the young man tries to play them, he realizes that, instead of “Oklahoma!”, he’s been given taped computer programs.

Redemption
Great story, beautifully told and narrated, about ambition, family relationships and the difficult process of life transitions. A delightful, rich and absorbing book from beginning to dramatic denouement.

Another Dick Francis masterpiece!
I loved this story of father/son conflict and ultimate redemption. Both author and narrator deliver a perfectly nuanced plot and performance.

Bonecrack review
Fantastic story : As every great Duck Francis novel - plenty oh horse activity / villains / unusual punishments & escapes from danger. I am glad thi story was brought out of the vault for publication!
Tony Britton was a solid narrator - variable voices and feeling! Bravo!!!

Horses and Fathers
This Dick Francis book starts immediately with high stakes, and doesn’t fail to satisfy with the resolute actions of the protagonist and a fascinating evolution of a relationship between two sons with troubled relationships with their fathers. Excellent narration throughout, top shelf horse crime drama from a trainers perspective.

Worth the read!
Dick Francis books have always been a special delight to read. This one is slightly more unbelievable, but the research is still thorough.
Not as exilarating from the jockey's viewpoint as some others, but filled with tension.

Kind of ridiculous
Enjoyable, because all of the standard Dick Francis elements are present. But the narrator was challenged by having to do some Italian accents, and the plot was just too unrealistic. Francis tends to have heroes who are a little too good to be true and villains who are a little too bad to be true, that comes with the territory. But this time the basic plot was  too hard to swallow.
