Proof

By: Dick Francis

Narrated by: Tony Britton

At an annual party to celebrate the success of the racing season, everything seemed to be running well to form, including the need for more champagne. Then a runaway horsebox ploughed into the marquee. A witness to the terrible death and destruction, wine merchant Tony Beach knows it is just one of those tragic accidents. But when his expert advice is called into play over sub-standard alcohol in a local night club, connections start to click, and another person dies, horribly.

Needs to be re-recorded

The audio was very old, changed tones and volumes multiple time and at times had an almost chirping sound in the background.

Thoroughly enjoyable!!

Dick Francis has so many well-written books that it is difficult to make a list of favorites. 'Proof' is one of mine, and while I know the story very well, it is a new pleasure to listen to it being read by Tony Britton. Highly recommended.

Another winner for this ex-jockey

I've been reading Dick Francis since book 1, and I've got to say that if you like any of his books, chances are good you'll like the rest.

Even tho his plots always refer to British horse-racing, there's always a different take on it. I think his stories are exciting and his characters very human.

Go for it!

Another great one from Francis

I always love how the author researches some interesting profession or pastime for each novel. In this one, he explores wine and spirits and the expertise of the tasters as the hero investigates suspected fraud.

Another Dick Francis Classic

Another Dick Francis Classic. Great with a fast moving engaging plot, a page turner,a great companion for anyone.

Good book

I enjoyed that the main character is working WITH the police for a change. It was mostly clean and was over all interesting. The final "battle" had me on the edge of my seat and sweating. The ending was great.

Proof

Tony Britton does a great job narrating this story. Dick Francis is a great writer. As a horse lover and race fan I always enjoy the inside view that Francis provides in his stories. I always learn something from his book and in this one was about the world of wines and whiskey. The pace always moves along and this book held a few nail biting moments of suspense. I wish Audible carried more of the Dick Francis books.

Great story, well read.

Dick Francis is consistently excellent and this story maintains the standard. A macabre touch in the mode of murder, but Francis' usual perceptive insights into human nature. Top class.
