Product Description
A reissue of a classic mystery from the champion of English storytellers
Book Description
Malcolm Pembroke never expected to make a million pounds without making enemies. Nor did he expect his latest wife to be brutally murdered. All the clues suggest the killer comes from close to home - but after five marriages and nine children, that still leaves the field wide open. When he finds his own life in danger, Pembroke entrusts his safety to his estranged son, Ian, an amateur jockey; and through him discovers a compulsive new outlet for his financial expertise. Soon he's playing the international bloodstock market for incredible stakes. Not the safest bet for a man on the run from avaricious relatives. Particularly when one of them's got a bomb...

4.0 out of 5 stars
a great romp,
By
This review is from: Hot Money (The Dick Francis Library) (Paperback)
An adventure about a family and their failings. Typical Francis a good read. Malcolm Pembroke is a rich man with a large family and some ex wives. He is under threat so he needs to find one of his children he can trust. The family is unloveable and dysfunctional - money clearly does not buy happiness. Despite their difficulties you come to care about their fates as you consider one or other as a potential murderer. There is always a hores or two but this in not about the seamy side of racing and perhpas the horses are the most loveable characters. I love this book and bought this to replace a much revisited copy that has finally disintegrated!
3.0 out of 5 stars
2, but for the wonderful Tony Britton,
By thegoodbook (Sevenoaks, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hot Money (Unabridged) (Audio Download)
This book was published 23 years ago - and it shows. Pace slow; uneventful denouement; one shock. If I had been reading (rather than listening to) the book, I would definitely have put it aside, but Tony Britton could read the telephone directory and I would listen. But don't expect excitement. Characterization of main character and narrator nice, but far too many characters. Lazy novel.

My favourite Francis,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hot Money (The Dick Francis Library) (Paperback)
This is my favourite Dick Francis novel of all; I have read it so many times my copy is falling apart. Fighting family members, with all their motivations very well explored and believable - and, of course, horses.
