This is another classic Dick Francis. He is one of the authors I can reliably turn to when I'm in the mood for a pacy, light yet well-written read. I love his strength in creating female characters, which can be such a rare gift amongst male thriller/crime writers. Francis's women are strong, individual and real, and even better, his heroes appreciate those women as their equals.
