Crime fiction not a genre I read very often and a first by John Francome, although I remember when one of my daughters was younger she went through a phase of reading this author. Owning a horse and living near racing stables was probably part of the attraction.

Well paced thriller set in the horse world. I wasn't keen on some of the characters, but then, you're not supposed to like them all! Bad guy suitably creepy, situation fairly tense (although I did figure it out a bit earlier than I think you are supposed to).
A good read, and I will possibly look for more by this author.

Just started reading John Francome. I have been an avid Dick Francis fan for years. Really enjoyed this book...and I agree with the Mail on Sunday that it's a winner.
This book is not going to win the Nobel prize.... But if you want a good racing murder mystery that is quick to get through. This will do just fine!
