Dick Francis can always be trusted to write an entertaining novel with likeable characters and intelligent protagonists. "Break In" was no exception. An entertaining read. ( ) This excellent mystery is tied not only into the world of racing, but the world of mass media. It includes the only character to be the lead in two of Francis's mysteries. In this book, I watched as the problem kept escalating and then as the clues to the solution kept being discovered. It was truly a nasty bit of work; I'm glad it got solved. This book is highly recommended for mystery fans. Steeplechase jockey Kit Fielding is at the peak of his career when his tranquility is disturbed by his twin Holly’s troubles. Holly is married to trainer Bobby Allardeck, and their business is under siege by an anonymous newspaper campaign aimed at their creditors. Under any other circumstances it would be unthinkable for a Fielding to come to the aid of an Allardeck since these families have been feuding for generations, but Kit’s love for his sister and his liking for his brother-in-law far outweigh inherited grudges. As Kit digs deeper into the conspiracy, he receives timely assistance from some unlikely sources. I have a fondness for books about twins that probably stems from all the Bobbsey Twins mysteries I read in my childhood. Kit is a strong, intelligent, and moral hero with a circle of loyal friends who are interesting in their own right. I’m glad that this book is an exception to Francis’s stand-alone works, and that I have one more opportunity awaiting to immerse myself in Kit’s world. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
