Dick Francis never disappoints
Another unique story by Dick Francis. An outstanding story
This is another early work of Francis but much better than Smokescreen. It moves fairly quickly. I can recommend it.
A page turner with horses.
For an abridged reading, this one is very good. The story itself is superb! An accountant who knows all the financial connections between villagers, and a jockey who rides for the thrill of it but not as a professional finds himself held captive for no apparent reason. The desperation and futility of his helplessness and the terror and joy of escaping keeps you on the edge of your seat. Dick Francis is ALWAYS a good read.
Wonderful mystery, as usual from Dick Francis.
As with all Dick Francis books that I've read (and I've read many), Risk is a very good read. I could not put it down once I began reading!
