I started reading or re-reading Dick Francis's books about a year ago. This is #10 and new to me. It's a good solid Dick Francis book that I enjoyed. I'm not sure if reading these books so close together is good or not but I have enjoyed each one. It's a good who-dun-it with a deeper than expected main character. But those darned handcuffs !
