Come to Grief

Sid Halley, Book 3

De: Dick Francis

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

Sid Halley, the ex-champion jockey turned private investigator, is facing new dangers, new deeply demanding decisions.

His friend Ellis Quint has everything he could want: fame, youth, money, good looks, and talent. What Sid has to figure out is why he has committed such an obnoxious crime. On the morning set for the opening of Ellis’s trial, at which Sid is due to be called as a witness, other people’s miseries explode and send him spinning into days of hard rational detection and heart-searching torment.

Troubled, courageous and unwilling to admit defeat, for Sid Halley it is business as usual...

Excellent

to continue to listen when out of the car but this was great one of the best from this great author

Interesting but not my favorite

The plot for the story is very good and very interesting examining all kinds of people and what makes them do what they do. However, it seems to me that it could’ve used a little better editing because it was rather tedious in places for me to read. But I loved Dick Francis so I’m not really very critical.

Awesome Sid Halley, awesome Dick Francis

Book 3 of the Sid Halley series by Dick Francis. Nothing disappoints, highly recommend you read the entire series and frankly, all of the Dick Francis books. :)

Sid Strikes Again!

Enjoyed this book, had to keep listening. It was hard to stop. The crime was thoroughly horrific, almost couldn’t get past it. It was like watching a train wreck. Hard to peel your eyes off. But you got to know what happens. Sid is a very intuitive investigator. Wish he wasn’t always getting hurt. Narrator is the best! I’m looking forward to next Sid book!

Very good story

I don’t understand the psychological desire to do evil but the story is well developed. And the vulnerability of Sid as well. My only critique is the inclusion of near death experiences in every book. Story would be just as good if he hadn’t ended up in hospital! But I enjoy the books and Simon Prebble could not be better!
