I have read every book by Dick Francis and this is good but I don't think one of his best. But I will continue to read them since almost all of his stories I have really loved.

Dick Francis is still on form with his latest mystery/thriller Silks. Geoffrey Mason, a barrister, is told that he must not only defend Steve Mitchell but to throw the case. There is also a side plot regarding his decision to move on in his life (which begins to take over the mystery... the one flaw in the book, IMHO). A solid Francis book, but not as good as some of his others. Still definitely worth a read.

Another Great Dick Francis Book. Reading one of his books is like visiting and old friend. The flavor of English Racing combined with the local scenes. Great ending too!

I am a major Dick Francis fan. I was concerned when I saw this book was co-written with his son but found it to be very good indeed.

If you are a Dick Francis fan, this book is a must. Well-written, fast paced and with a likable hero, this is classic Francis. His collaboration with his son doesn't change the tone of the writing.
