A Man With Problems, April 9 2002
This review is from: Nerve (Paperback)
At the start of "Nerve," one of Dick Francis' earliest and best books, the hero, Rob Finn, has a a couple of problems. A rising young jockey, he is something of a misfit in a family of talented musicians. And he's in love with his first cousin.
Soon there's another, more threatening problem. All of his horses turn into lethargic losers. The whisper at the track is he's lost his nerve.
To save his career, Rob Finn must tackle the mystery of the sluggish horse as if his life depended on it. And it does.
In all, a satisfying romp through the world or horses that Dick Francis has no peer in dramatizing.

The Best of Dick Francis Mysteries, April 19 2001
This review is from: Nerve (Paperback)
I bet this is the best of Dick Francis mysteries. But I haven't been able to write a review for a long time. Because I can't describe why this book is so fascinating without destroying the mystery. This is a rather astonishing, extraordinary story, and I'd like you to read it without any preliminary knowledge if possible.
If you are not interested in horse-racing at all, don't worry. I am not interested in horse-racing either, but I can enjoy Francis novels heartily.
