Product Description
Product Description
When apprentice jockey Rory Gillespie abandons his fiancee Laura Brickhill, in favour of trainer’s daughter Pam Fanshaw, it’s a decision made from ambition not love. And Rory has to wait ten years before Laura will forgive him.
Now one of England’s leading trainers, and married to property tycoon Luke Mundy, Laura asks Rory to ride her best horse, Midnight Express, in Cheltenham’s Two Mile Champion Chase. Shortly afterwards, Luke is killed on one of Laura’s horses and she is arrested for manslaughter. Rory won't desert her this time and, setting out to prove Laura’s innocence, he discovers that there is more than one person who will benefit from Luke’s death.

This is the second John Francome novel I've read and it hasn't disappointed. I am not a fan of horse racing especially but this makes no difference as the author has cleverly written a plot that would stand up on it's own. The story is based around the racing world but it written in such a way that it doesn't exclude any non racing fans. The characters are realistic (never too nice or too nasty) and beliveable.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have already lined up another Francome novel to start on next!

What a treat! As the first John Francome book I have read this one certainly had plenty to offer. An intriguing and twisting plot meant that this book is impossible to put down! Francome's style of writing is clever and he builds the tension throughout the story by cunningly deviating from the main plot then bringing the reader straight back into the action once again - ending with an explosive finale! The in depth knowledge of racing is evident and all racing events within the text are fast and exiting. A MUST read! Highly recommended - enjoy!
