This latest book in the Dick Francis novels is definitely not as good as early ones. The main character is a thoroughbred auctioneer in his thirties, who comes across as a very immature, naive person. While I'm usually interested in having factual information sprinkled through a fiction book, the sprinkling was much to heavy for my liking in this one.

As a teenager I read Dick Francis novels voraciously as then were set in the world of racing. I haven't read any for many years so decided to pick up this novel by Francis' son (and former amenuensis) to see if anything had changed. Nothing has! The stories are still within the same racehorse world, although slightly updated for the modern reader, and the 'romance' is still as clunky and unconvincing as ever. The loyal reader gets exactly what they expect and it's a good deal ( )
