About this listen

 The house was stripped bare of all its treasures. Gone was the furniture, the family silver, the paintings and the antique china. And if that was a shock for Charles Todd, painter of horses, how much more harrowing was the trauma for his cousin Donald, whose house it was and whose young wife lay on the sitting room floor, bloody and dead...

A coincidental meeting with a middle-aged widow sends Charles off to Australia, on the trail of a gang with a fruitful business in forging works of art. In a world of high stakes and tremendous risks, where villains will stop at nothing to achieve their ends, Dick Francis weaves his compelling narrative with the control of a master craftsman.

This book is well written and as exciting as anything written be DF is. Beautifully narrated with a mastery of different voices. Well done Audible. I can’t wait to read the next Francis book.

A classic Dick Francis tale. I’d rate it as one of his best. It’s fast paced as the hero sets out to solve the mystery surrounding the death of his cousin’s wife. There’s the usual inclusion of the horse racing world. I’m not really into horse racing, but you don’t have to be to enjoy Francis’s books.

It’s an interesting plot, with the bad guys causing trouble and trying to deter the hero from delving into the mystery.

I wish the female characters were more interesting, but I suppose as it was written in 1976, it’s a product of it’s time. I still really enjoyed the story and the book is superbly narrated by Tony Britton.
