Title: Maybe good for some, but a bust for Mr. Francis!
Review: Was this whole book just an afterthought? Dick Francis has been my favorite author for decades, but he is losing the touches that drew me to him. This book might be great for anyone else, but a bust for Mr. Francis.Horses only appeared as something to be abused and to suffer at the hands of men. Racecourses only appeared because everyone has to be somewhere. Oh, yeah, let's stick in a girl for the romance part of the formula.And the villains! Totally unbelievable! And the source of the conflict, the goings-on on Trox, totally unbelievable!However, Mr. Francis never fails to deliver on interesting details, and I learned something, as I always do. And he certainly never fails to deliver exquisite verbiage, and unique opening and ending lines.Go back and read Nerve, Enquiry, Longshot or Reflex to get a true shot of Mr. Francis' enormous talent.
