Product Description

On the first day of Royal Ascot, the crowd rejoices in a string of winning favourites.

Ned Talbot has worked all his life as a bookmaker - taking over the family business from his grandfather - so he knows not to expect any sympathy from the punters as they count their winnings, and he counts his losses. He's seen the ups and downs before - but, as the big gambling conglomerates muscle in on small concerns like his, Ned wonders if it's worth it any more.

Then, when a grey-haired man steps forward from the crowd claiming to be his father, Ned's life is thrown into far deeper turmoil.

©2009 Dick Francis; (P)2010 BBC Audiobooks Ltd

Format:Hardcover
I finished reading this book earlier this week and was disappointed. It's not up to the standard of previous Dick Francis books. It's well researched but lacks punch. Just when it seemed that it might get going it ended extremely tamely. I've read almost all of Dick Francis' work and this is a long way short of the general standard.

I've enjoyed most of DF's books - but these later ones are just not as good. I just can't like the main character as much as earlier books and there is something lacking in the empathy that the earlier books had. It was OK - but not un-put-downable like some of the others.

Format:Hardcover
I eagerly anticipated this book as with all Dick Francis books. I found the lead character a bit of a departure from the original formula, but that was all right. Maybe I was expecting a little too much. The book was not a "don't put it down till it's done" type compared with earlier books. It just seemed as if the authors were reaching for something that was eluding them. For all that, still worth the money.

Even money, this is a good bet.
This is typical Dick Francis, although aided by his son there is no mistaking the Francis masterclass in thriller writing. Gripping from start to finish.

I have all of Dick Francis's books (one signed!) Even Money was enjoyable, but it lacks that thrill of excitement that is in most of the previous books. Read more

This was a gift for a family member so I did not read the book personally. The service received was good and I have no complaint at all.

started ok but went downhill
As with all the Dick Francis novels that I have read, the details about horse racing are of interest, although in this instance perhaps not as much as usual. Read more

Getting better
Having been hugely disappointed by the books written since the death of his wife, I felt that this book was a slight improvement - still not up to standard, but not terrible.

Not quite a gripping thriller
Even Money is a fairly good story, with plenty of insight into the world of horse racing, and lots of accurate geographical descriptions of England's countryside, roads and race... Read more
