NERVE : A Fairly Important Person,
By
This review is from: Dead Cert/Nerve/For Kicks (Mass Market Paperback)
Dick Francis writes with economy. NERVE opens with the suicide of a jockey. The hero, Rob Finn, another jockey, and the others discuss the event. The suicide victim's wife has a fur coat and is not likely to welcome the commiserations of the other jockeys. They choose not to present themselves to be snubbed. The suicide victim had been obsessively tidy. Finn witnessed the suicide. The suicide victim and a trainer had been in the habit of exchanging acrimonious words.The other offerings in the three novel set are equally fine. One of the advantages of a Dick Francis book is having a hero one cares about and a plot that develops smoothly from start to finish.

Break-neck reading,
This review is from: Dead Cert/Nerve/For Kicks (Mass Market Paperback)
My wife and I are avid mystery readers. Usually, one of us solves the mystery, then dares the other to solve it in less pages. But with Dick Francis, we haven't been able to solve until his character does. This makes for a very exiting, challenging books, real page turners.
