About this listen

Sid Halley, the ex-champion jockey turned investigator who appears in Odds Against and Whip Hand, is back and facing new dilemmas and dangers. The opening finds him having uncovered an obnoxious crime committed by a friend whom he, and everyone else, has held in affection bordering on love.

On the morning set for the opening of the friend's trial, at which Sid is due to be called as a witness, other people's miseries explode and send him spinning into pulverizing days of hard, rational detection, and heart-searching torments. Troubled, courageous, and unwilling to admit defeat, for Sid Halley it is business as usual.

Quality of sound recording spoilt a good story. Have always enjoyed Dick Francis books. Bolinda should check their sound recordings.

I have been a fan of Dick Francis for almost 20 years now, I whave read and re read all of his books. The narrative form has ticked every box, when reading we enter our own imagination. The narrator has his voices down to a tee. I throughly recomennd to any one. five stars.

Great dory as usual from Dick Francis, nicely read by Tony Britton. One minor glitch in the old recording but didn’t detract from my enjoyment.

Gripping stuff

A bit laboured at times yet equally pacy in other sections. I enjoyed the story overall and having heard other titles by this author would recommend it. Perhaps the narrator doesn't seem so accomplished or convincing as another I've heard read these stories.

Entertaining and interesting
