Book Review: Slay Ride by Dick Francis


This Dick Francis novel is set in Norway but of course he sticks to his safe ground of the horse world. The case involves the disappearance of a visiting English jockey to Norway.

The novel was published in 1973 and it the usual Dick Francis page turner. There is the usual cast of Dick Francis characters too; we get the young man who stubbornly tries to justice. There is also the bullying big business deterrent as well as the slightly uncomfortable rich people at the racetrack too. There is some love interest as well together with the thrills and spills that you would expect from a Dick Francis thriller.

8/10 for me.
