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.

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.

Twenty years ago, 16-year-old Tara Martin disappeared from a small town in the heart of England. Now, her sudden return and the mind-bending tale of where she’s been will challenge our very perception of the truth. For 20 years after Tara Martin disappeared, her parents and her brother, Peter, lived in denial of the grim fact that she was gone for good. Then suddenly on Christmas Day, the doorbell rings at her parents’ home, and there, dishevelled and slightly peculiar looking, Tara stands. It’s a miracle, but alarm bells are ringing for Peter. Tara’s story just does not add up.

Architect and family man Lee Morris never gave much thought to the shares he inherited of the Stratton Park racecourse, the multi-million dollar property owned by the powerful Stratton family. His mother had first received the shares to keep her quiet about the abuse she had suffered at the hands of her first husband, Keith Stratton. Now, much to Lee's chagrin, he is being drawn into the thick of the Stratton family squabbles as they wage a furious debate over the future of the race track.

Great racing read
Great read and entertainment from Dick Francis as usual. Not just the racing but a look into another profession or skill wrapped around a story that keeps you guessing all the way

We’ll crafted, great narration.
This book is great especially if you enjoy stories about English country life. Well written, interesting plot with just the right touches of character development and intrigue. Good one!

Fascinating Mystery
Dick Francis researches very well. I learned a lot about photography while being propelled along a complicated route to a surprise in the end.

Reading Dick Francis is like a good vacation - always pleasurable
Francis’s main characters are just plain fun - just enough flaws to make them human, kind and thoughtful, noble. The villains aren’t carbon copies of each other. And I always learn something from the subject he’s researched so well.
The narrator is superb.

Another good jockey tail
Listen to this one if only for the photographic knowledge intertwined in the plot.
Another excellent reading performance.
Good twists at the end.

I’m a fan
Second Dick Francis novel - he does an amazing job with a story line pulling together so many parts. Prebble is just as much of a genius in his art of reading the story.

Another great Dick Francis murder mystery!
Ex-jockey Dick Francis wrote mystery novels only about the horse racing world in England. Reflex was published in 1980 in the UK and 1981 in the US. Like all of the other of his many mystery novels, Reflex is an exquisitely written fast paced novel. Jockey Philip Nore is nearing the end of his career when he decides he must investigate a murder. Simon Prebble is the perfect narrator for Reflex.
