5.0 out of 5 stars From a flying start to a breathtaking finish, 6 Feb 2004
By Kathy Lang (Cornwall, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Flying Finish (Paperback)
This great novel can be read as a straightforward thriller with plenty of excitement, an unusual hero, a really unpleasant and thoroughly believable villain, and a finish of rare suspense. The writing is taught, economical and draws you into the story so that you feel completely involved with it.

But two elements make it much more than just a thriller. The love story running through all the blood and thunder is among the most touching I've ever read. And, as in all Dick Francis' books, the underlying theme is the triumph of the human spirit over evil and disaster, written without schmulz or overpainting. I've read all his thrillers more than once, and this is my top favourite.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Thriller, 30 Aug 2003
By Duncan Light (Glasgow, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Flying Finish (Paperback)
First class trademark thriller from the well known ex-jockey. The hero is very much a mans man and readers looking for an old fashioned thriller won't be disappointed.

What sets this apart from many other books is its unrelently pace (it drives you full force to the climax) and authenticity. The latter is not perhaps surprising given Francis's background but this is a book for thriller fans and a liking or knowledge of horse racing is not required.

High recommended.
