5.0 out of 5 stars Dead Certain to please mystery lovers..., Feb 13 2002
By J. Kane "AbleKane" (Balad, Iraq) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In yet another gripping story of mystery, murder and British steeplechasing, Dick Francis continues his amazing streak of hit novels.

His real appeal is not racing or mystery however, it is his ability to create characters who are admirable, honorable and self-reliant. If you're looking for troubled, self-loathers who "somehow" overcome their weakness and become unwilling and unwitting heroes, don't look here. Francis' heroes revel in their abilities to withstand evil, overcome it, and end up smiling in spite of it all.

Kudos once again for Dick Francis and Dead Cert!

5.0 out of 5 stars The First Dick Francis Mystery, Nov 5 2001
By APRICOT "ryoko" (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
This is the first Dick Francis mystery and I like it the second best. I like "Nerve" slightly better, but only slightly. This "Dead Cert" contains several impressive scenes. The most impressive is the climax in which the star horse "Admiral" plays an unexpectedly spectacular role. It is definitely THE MOST SPECTACULAR scene in ALL Francis mysteries. Highly Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars With this novel..., Jul 16 2001
By A Customer
Dick Francis didn't save the best for last. I have read all the DF novels except Blood Sport, which I have ordered and expect it anyday. I have loved every single one, but Dead Cert is my favorite, although Bonecrack and Whip Hand are close favorites.

Dick Francis is an excellent author because he is a master at combining three elements into his novels. Horses:), danger and mystery, and romance. If anybody reading this reveiw has never read a DF novel, please do so, you won't regret it!

This is the first of Dick Francis' racing novels, although not the first I read. In fact, I was amazed to see it was numero uno. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Cert!
While savoring each page of this book, I found it hard to believe this was Dick's first work. The plotting is complex, airtight and delightful; the characters each distinct and... Read more
