I had never read any Dick Francis before and I suspect I never will again, because I did not know what to DO with this book! It's so overblown! The sex scene is so bad! The mystery rollicks along brilliantly and the accountant dude is my fave, but it's so EXTRA! etc.

In better news though K has recalled she owes me a plate of waffles for reading this book.

edited because I forgot the crossdressing PI! who is 100% written as the romantic interest? did Francis KNOW he did that? did his editor? I need a drink.
