[M.L. Carr · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't know why I get such a kick out of these horse racing scandal books but I find them absorbing. I found this in a pile of resale books and read it through in one night. I'm searching out the rest of his titles now.

[Kevin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stunning. It reminded me of the Dick Francis novel but this had all the issues of betrayal, spousal abuse, corruption and coercion. Great read

[Julie · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not a badly plotted book, but a badly written one.

[Gary Vassallo · Rating 3 out of 5]

A quick suspenseful read, that I quite enjoyed.

On my edition of Declared Dead, it states that this is “A pacy, entertaining read (Times)”. That pretty much sums it up. It was a good, albeit a little predictable, horse racing mystery.
