Another in the yearly offerings of Dick Francis, and what offerings they were, a very entertaining and consistent read, usually with the research skills of his wife Mary too.
This novel features Charles Todd who is an artist who paints horses. His life is changed after his sister in law is murdered and his brother becomes the main suspect. This is followed by the murder of his cousin's wife and the burgulary of their house. The police are suspicious of the crime as the theft appears to be an arranged one.
At a racetrack Todd meets a client who introduces him to a woman who has also experienced a recent burgulary. He discovers that the woman and his cousin recently returned from Australia and they both bought a painting while there. Todd of course travels to Australia to look for clues.
The usual high standard cosy Dick Francis read.
8/10 for me.
