Decider

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

A GRIPPING RACETRACK THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF DRIVING FORCE AND COMEBACK

THE STAKES ARE DEADLY AT STRATTON PARK

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.

So when Lee packs his six sons into his renovated old bus to visit the racetrack, he finds himself embroiled in a supremely dangerous game that extends much deeper than horse racing. And perhaps too late, Lee realizes his involvement in the racetrack may cost him more than he bargained for...It may cost him his life...

My favorite from the author and excellent reader

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is Dick Francis' best work. The story is gripping and surprising. The characters are engaging. You will not want to put it down, and you will also want to listen to it again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Decider?

Too many to list! A particular favorite is when Henry finds the hamburger. Listen to find out!

Which character – as performed by Simon Prebble – was your favorite?

Lee Morris

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes

Picturing the house he renovated for his family and the great relationship he had with his sons.

Another great story from Dick Francis.
Good characters and perfect plot. Your son Felix is an OK writer but you got the gift!

Bad ending

I really enjoyed the story but was extremely disappointed by the last few paragraphs. Ruined the book for me.

One of His Best.

I've listened to several of Dick Francis novels. The Decider is definitely one of his best. The characters are well developed (though a couple are a little over the top). The lead character, Lee, is quite interesting for his profession (architect), his family (six sons!)who
accompany him to the racetrack setting, and his faltering marriage. Of course, he's smart, insightful, and measured in his handling of the dangerous situation. The plot has twists and several secrets to be discovered before the major conflict is resolved. As usual, Simon Prebble is superb as the narrator. A worthwhile listen.

Simon Prebble Perfect As Aleays

Dick Francis keeps me coming back with the mystery mingled with horses. He never forgets the importance of good character development. It done so smoothly that his characters become important to the reader.
Must go now, another Dick Francis novel is calling me.
