Book Review: For Kicks by Dick Francis

Danny Roke becomes a stable boy in Yorkshire, a complete change of scene for him. This 1965 novel sees Danny investigating a suspected doping scandal. As ever with the cosy world of Dick Francis we are in the horse world.

Danny gives up his life in Australia breeding horses to take on the investigation for a Lord. However although the doping is suspected the tests are all proving to be negative. Danny uncovers the facts and we are along on the ride with him.

The usual high standard for Dick Francis.

8/10 for me.
