Intimidations and violence threaten the case, but he is determined to come to the correct conclusion. (  ) Angel.Tatum.Craddock | Dec 17, 2020 |  book-on-cd: maybe the first dick francis i've gone through where the reveal happens during a trial. that was interesting. up to that point, though, it didn't seem up to stylistic par with some of the older books: LOTS of expository writing/sentimentality that doesn't seem familiar. maybe i wouldn't have noticed had i not known about his wife's death/son's help in writing, but since i did, it stuck out a lot. also, the last chapter ended...abruptly? i'm not sure what the purpose was of not tying it all up... beautifulshell | Aug 27, 2020 | Geoffrey Mason is a lawyer and a jockey, riding in amateur with his own horse riding in dangerous jumping races.

I've read most of them and enjoyed listening to this one. I just ordered another book on CD by him from my library. (  ) tkcs | Feb 23, 2019 | SPOILER ALERT: I was very disappointed by the end of this book. I have one last Francis book to read, so they are precious commodities now, and when the protagonist did a 180 from the now expected (and loved) Francis protagonist and ended the book--I seem to be physically incapable of doing a complete spoiler, so I will say that part of what I have come to love about Francis books is that the protagonists are very moral people. I don't mean religious, I mean they live within a code of ethics that does not permit violence except as self defense. An attempt was made to justify the character's final action in that way, but it doesn't wash. I am sure most people won't be troubled by it, but I am. C'est la vie.
