About this listen

The pleasure of a day at Sandown is spoiled for Steven Scott when he sacks his trainer, a one time friend whom he suspects is a crook. Racing may have its rewards, but as Scott finds out not all of them are innocent, or legal.

Good production of one of my favourite Dick Francis stories. I read the other reviews and was grateful to the reviewer who said that Bolinda had cleaned up the audio quality and I found it nice and clear without annoying hissing. Generally I liked Tony Britton's reading of the story, I didn't think much of his Welsh accent but otherwise it was all fine. The story is an intricate story of... I'm not sure it is revenge exactly... but an attempt to get justice without recourse to law.

I really got involved in this story with my blood boiling at the injustice of the main character's plight. The baddies are very bad! I was impressed by the narrator who kept the characters well differentiated. The woman's voice was not an issue for me, and the sound quality was good in my opinion. This is the audio equivalent of a page-turner. A good, traditional old-fashioned novel. Also gives an insight into the world of horse racing of course. Highly recommended.

Excellent on all fronts
