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

Always a great read

One of my favorite Dick Francis stories. I have read and listened to this book multiple times.

Excellent as aleays

I've listened to this before and read it but not recently. The story is excellent as is Simon Prebble's narration.I note that the preview added to this is not read by Simon Prebble, that narration sounds like AI to me, most unpleasant.

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.
