  Dick Francis - He's BACK!
Review created: 11/03/06

My mother and I have been fans of Dick Francis for over 25 years. She was so disappointed when Francis' wife died and Francis announced that he would no longer be writing his popular books. Imagine my surprise when I found out that he had indeed written another book...and Mom's 87th birthday was coming up. I was able to purchase this book, brand new, hardcover, and...SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR! What an absolutely perfect birthday gift. Plus, I know she'll let me read it when she's done :)

Dear Sirs,
I liked the book as well as all of Dick Francis mysteries. He has to be the greatest mystery writer of all times. I had already read it, but I wanted a signed 1st edition copy. The book was perfect and in unread condition recommend this book to anyone who loves mysteries. This is also the authors last book to be written.

Often when an author hasn't written for awhile, their next book is a dissapointment. Not here. This is definitely one of Francis' best. Be sure to read it!!

Its so great to have Dick Frances writing again. I always enjoy his books. They are good mysteries without too much gore and with lovely humor.

I like Dick Francis who is an excellent mystery writer. I am sorry I purchased a hard back book as it is easier to carry soft back. I purchased the book because it was a good value as I had priced the book in local book stores.

I really like the Sid Halley series that Mr. Francis wrote, and this one is no exception. This book is about a trainer who is accused of killing a jockey, and then is found dead himself, possibly from suicide. Halley doesn't believe that this is the case and decides to investigate himself. I really like all of Mr. Francis's books because each one is so different. I can usually not guess what is going to happen in the end, which is something that I like. I don't like it when the mysteries are too predictable. I recommend this book to all horse mystery lovers. They will not be disappointed.

  Yet another Dick Francis

First Dick Francis since Mary died. Writing misses her some, but still an enjoyable read for Dick Francis fans. At some level they're all the same (same story), but still... I'll still buy and read them all as they come out.

Book condition was supposed to be 'like new'. When it was received it was just as if it was shipped directly to me by the publisher.
