A Vintage End von D'Arcy Kavanagh
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.I enjoyed this book, especially the unique setting of a bike race in France. The characters were believable and well developed. I'd definitely read another in this series.
Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.A Vintage End is a mystery set during a series of vintage bicycle races in France in which a number of bizarre incidents become increasingly more deadly. The story reminded me of the Dick Francis horse racing mystery novels only instead of horses D’Arcy Kavanagh has bicycle racing. I wasn’t familiar with the author before reading this novel and liked it so much I’m going to read the first novel in this series The Bastard is Dead.

For instance, the parts where Paul's editor was telling him to go get the story seemed repetitive and could have been shortened to a sentence. But I would try another book in the series because the characters were likeable and plot was interesting.
