This review is from: The Silver Falcon (Paperback)

Silver Falcon was the first Evelyn Anthony I read years ago, and I enjoyed picking it up again recently. If you enjoy Victoria Holt's gothic romances, you probably would enjoy this non-gothic romance set in the world of horse racing. This is definitely light reading, ideal for the beach, a winter evening at home, travel or jury duty! It's the story of a young woman married to a much older man who owns racehorses, including Silver Falcon of the title, and has some mysterious secrets in his past. When something happens to him, she becomes caught up in an intrigue with far-reaching implications. Evelyn Anthony's characterizations and sense of description are what make me think of Victoria Holt, so if you draw pleasure from those aspects you are sure to enjoy this light novel.
