4.0 out of 5 stars Swindling on the racecourse, 13 May 2009

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Knock Down (Paperback)
As all those Dick Francis titles are (at least to me) rether generic, I am slowly reading my way through the ones not reviewed yet on Amazon, and posting some notes - but NO SPOILERS!

Knock Down (1974). Jonah Dereham is a bloodstock agent, buying and selling horses for a living. But when someone starts sabotaging his business, and colleagues are leaning on him to join kickback schemes, he starts investigating who and why, and begins to hit back. A brother with problems and a beautiful driver involved in a horse crash add to the interest.

This is yet another solid thriller/love story/whodunnit all rolled into one, with Francis' impeccable writing style: spare, good dialogue, short; personality sketches that leaves you with a real feeling for the people involved - no cardboard cutouts here. Francis is a truly professional writer, as well as a real jockey: he was a professional full-time jockey for ten years, and it shows.
