Great story

This is my favorite Dick Francis novels. It is one of his earliest so of course it is dated, but a great story with a riveting hero and this is a really fun read.

Another good one!!

I’ve been reading Dick Francis books for many years and now enjoy them again on audio. This was one of the really good ones. I hate animal cruelty in stories, which you will find associated with the bad guys, but I get the idea and just fast forward. This reader was very good. I am happy to recommend this novel.

Interesting viewpoint

So interesting to see the daily life of a 1960’s English stable lad through this protagonist’s eyes! That was the best part. The plot seemed overall a bit thin and the criminals were almost Dickensian caricatures. Beautifully read, made everyone come alive!
