Pulse

De: Felix Francis

Narrado por: Clare Corbett

New York Times–bestselling author Felix Francis is back in the newest thrilling adventure in the Dick Francis tradition.

A smartly dressed man has been found unconscious at the local racecourse and is rushed to the hospital, where he subsequently dies. But who is he? Where does he come from? He had no form of identification on him, and no one claims the body.

Doctor Chris Rankin, a specialist who treated the deceased—and who struggles with mental health issues—is intrigued by the nameless dead man, obsessed even, and starts asking questions. However, someone doesn’t want the questions answered and will go to any lengths to prevent it, including an attempted murder.

But when no one will believe that someone tried to kill Chris, the doctor is left with no option but to discover who the nameless man was and why he died … preferably before following him into an early grave.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“[Felix Francis] has filled the family stable with more winners, including this one … wonderfully evocative … riveting throughout. Exciting at every turn.”—Booklist (starred review)

I was cautious of a "girl" mystery.

A little caveman of me I guess. In the end a good tale. More than once it put me to sleep, but not out of bordom, but I think contentment.

Not an escape, but a well written tale

Heroine has depression and anorexia; hard to listen to, especially the latter. My least favorite of the Felix Francis books.

Ruined by ending

Character was interesting and very different. Took a long time to tie in the usual racing element but then very good.
But the ending... There is a valid reason I suppose for the illogical actions near the end but still not satisfying and one line at the climax pretty much ruined the whole thing for me. Particularly with the additude in the prolog.

Great twist on traditional Dick Francis novels

Loved that the protagonist was a strong, smart woman. I've never read a Dick Francis novel before with a woman being the focus of the story. Really enjoyed the suspense, and it was a great story that was very believable. Good job Felix!

mostly good

it was very slow starting, I almost have up. it did get better and was very suspenseful 2nd half.

SIMPLY SUPERLATIVE!!

Having read every single Dick/Felix Francis book (some several times, over the years), this was for me by far the best in years. I cannot recall any previous female main characters in the series, so this beleaguered doctor was a fresh and welcome new voice. The author has clearly thoroughly researched emergency physicians' knowledge and practices, and the dilemmas faced by this protagonist's struggles with OCD/anorexia are remarkably accurate and insightful, IMO, having similar challenges myself. Her inner dialog was a welcome ingredient to a superbly woven complex tapestry. I'm continually amazed at the imaginative ways this series creates credible scenarios within the racing industry. I was also quite pleased with the end -- spinning out the aftermath satisfactorily, vs. an "and they all lived happily ever after" approach. Finally, the narration was superb and I hope to discover other interesting books read by this narrator. For lovers of this ongoing series, PULSE is very strongly recommended!

Wonderful!

Beautiful voice! Super book. I enjoyed it so much!
Thank you Felix Francis for your marvelous work!

Enjoyed it much more than I anticipated

I have read and or listened to every Dick Francis book multiple times, I've been reading them for more than 30 years. I've also read several that were co-authored with Felix and now some that are on his own. I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. It was refreshing to have a female protagonist and even though she had some major personality and metal challenges to work through I felt engaged with her story and was cheering her on, hoping for the best. I found she was competent in her work and learned quite a bit about it. This is a feature I've long enjoyed in the books. I'm glad I have the book and will gladly listen to it again in the future.

Dick’s son does it again

Another good read. So happy Felix is carrying on the family tradition! Way to go...

Get on with the story.

I felt there were long periods of unnecessary dialogue making the book become boring. I felt like telling the narrator to just get on with the story and not all the “filler “ of her mental and marital problems.
