Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Has] everything required in a modern thriller…an intricate plot that unravels skillfully, mayhem, sex, suspense, excitement, and surprise denouements." ( New York Times Book Review)
"As usual, Dick Francis is superb in his depiction of the horse-racing world, full of greed and betrayal. Equally superb is the clarity of expression that Geoffrey Howard brings to the novel….The pacing is flawless." ( AudioFile)

Incredible story telling

This is in the very top of literature. There’s a broad genre of those that are wrongfully convicted and this sets the standard. It’s a tough type of book to start: you know the better the author, the more you will empathize with the wronged and the more anger and desperation and other negative emotions you’ll feel along the journey to possible vindication. Francis handles this the best. In first person, Kelly Hughes tells his story from the rigged enquiry forward with efficiency and excellent insight and some dry humor. He demonstrates the best in human agency in response to such hardship, with a cornucopia of wit and viewpoints along the way .....if you’re new to Dick Francis, this is a great book to start with.

Wonderfully entertaining, professionally paced. An excellent read.

Narrator does a bang up job of transporting the listener to the moments unfolding. Writing is intelligent and engaging with a bright mix of characters brought to life with blooming relatable language.

Love some Dick Francis

Horse racing and mystery, my favorite subjects. Listen to this while driving . Good roadtrip material. Good narrator! Love it!

One of my favorite

Of all the Francis book. I think this Cosham fellow is also one of the best narrators I've encountered particularly for this genre.

Dick Francis Always Satisfies

This one delivers on all points: a great story, vivid writing, natural dialogue, intriguing characters. Having been unjustly “warned off the turf” twice in my career due to machinations far beyond my control, I found myself identifying with our protagonist, Kelly Hughes, even more than usual for a Dick Francis yarn. And Ralph Cosham's performance simply could not be improved upon.
