Commentary Out Of Books In the Frame

Another really great mystery from Dick Francis!

This was a good light hearted mystery novel. I can say I liked it, even though, having just fractured my shoulder this past summer (skateboarding), I physically cringed at the idea of getting out of bed and doing all the things our main character did as soon as he did. No way! The fracture in my shoulder was considered hairline and I was unable to turn my head without excruciating pain for at least two weeks. Ah well, that's fiction for you.

I listened to the audiobook from the library. This murder mystery novel has art, murder, theft, and travel. Charles Todd is an artist of horses, but he travels the world to prove his cousin innocent of murder. Recommended.

This is a fairly typical Dick Francis novel. In this case, the protagonist is Charles Todd, an artist who specializes in painting horses. He goes to spend a weekend with his cousin and the cousin's wife, only to arrive and find that the cousin's house has been burglarized. The cousin's wife, who apparently surprised the burglars by coming home unexpectedly, has been murdered. The cousin, Donald, is a wine merchant and is currently having some financial difficulties. The police suspect that he

Good old Dick Francis. The offhand social/political commentary is always interesting...this was coincidentally on the Troubles.

So reliable, an intrepid hero, horse racing, crime and all so easy to read

Needed a paperback to fit in my purse for a short trip and fell back on this book by Dick Francis, who is one of my favorite authors. When in doubt about what to read, I know I can always fall back on one of his books; that no matter how many times I have read them, they are still always interesting and hold my attention. Like the setting of Australia/New Zealand in this one.
