Book Review: Odds Against by Dick Francis

This novel sees the first in the Sid Halley series and is a great read, set as ever in the world of horses. Sid is one of the best steeplechase jockeys in Britain but he injures his hand beyond repair when he was riding forcing him into a change of career as a private investigator.

He starts to work for his father in law who considers that someone is trying to financially bring down Seabury racecourse so that it can be sold to property developers. Sid is on the case.

The other novels in the Sid Halley series are: Whip Hand, Come to Grief and Under Orders so if you like this one then you will want to read these in order.

8/10 for me.
