«Я столько раз описывал по этому ипподрому круги, что знал каждую его травинку так, как знают старого друга. Именно здесь падение с лошади прикончило мою жокейскую карьеру. Молодая лошадка, на которой я скакал, начала, споткнувшись после второго барьера, медленно заваливаться вправо. Я повалился на землю вместе с ней и откатился подальше от ее бьющих по воздуху копыт. Мне просто не повезло: шедшей за нами лошади деваться было не куда, и она всей тяжестью обрушилась на ладонь моей откинутой в сторону левой руки, сделав ее негодной к употреблению и поломав мне жизнь.» « - Глупости, - произнесла Дженни. - Что ей действительно понадобиться, так это хороший поход по магазинам - за покупками. Поверьте мне, я женщина. Покупки очень и очень повышают настроение. И чем они дороже, тем лучше.» «Иными словами, подумал я, мы не возражаем, но, в конце концов, да, возражаем. Очень солидно звучит, но смысла не имеет никакого.» *************************************************** #📚☕️ #instabook #instabooks #instabookstagram #dickfrancis #dickfrancisbooks #дикфренсис #booklover #bookstagram #rideraddict #riderlife #bookaddict #bookphotography #mybookfeatures #книжныйчервь #книголюб #скачки #жокей #🏇 #coffeeandbooks☕️📖 #coffeesndbook #minskgramm

📚Book Review: To the Hilt by Dick Francis 📖 It’s been such a long time since I picked up a Dick Francis book, but this one did not disappoint my expectations of the books of his I have previously enjoyed. As always, Francis shows off his excellent storytelling here. His books are always gripping, and sure enough this one did not want me to put it down. I don’t think it is his best ever, but it was a very enjoyable read with plenty of action and sympathetic characters. To the Hilt follows Alexander, the self professed mad relative in his family, who is a painter living in isolation in the Scottish highlands. Within the first couple of chapters he has been beaten almost to death by men asking him “where is it?”. The plot unfolds from there, featuring more than one secret that needs to be or has been hidden. For most of the book Alexander is trying hard to help his unwell stepfather, with often difficult or dangerous results. The perfect book to read on holiday, I loved racing through this one and will look forward to reading more of my Dick Francis backlog. 🖼️ 🎨 🐎 💵 💰 🗡️ 🏔️ #bookstagram #bookreview #booksiveread #thriller #crimefiction #dickfrancis #2024reads #marchreads #holidayreads #amreading #booksbooksbooks #book #books #tothehilt #mysterybooks #marchmysterymadness #gianttbr

Dick Francis - Nervy čte: Jan Nedbal Druhá detektivka Dicka Francise Nervy se točí kolem bezpráví, bezpráví, které hrdina příběhu Rob Finn na závodištích na vlastní kůži pocítil. Některým žokejům včetně něj se totiž v posledních měsících začala smůla lepit na paty v takové míře, že už podle nemůže jít jen o dílo náhody. Jednoho Finnova kolegu to dokonce stálo život. Podaří se mu přijít věcem na kloub dříve, než si smrt přijde i pro něj samotného? Režisér Daniel Tůma sáhl po Janu Nedbalovi, který zazářil v televizní sérii Matematika zločinu a filmu Bratři. Román Nervy je hercovou první zkušeností s čtenou audioknihou. Herec příběh vypráví příjemným tempem a přirozeně mění hlasy jednotlivých postav.

Але на цей раз біда приходить додому, коли образа між його родиною та свекрухою його сестри переростає у кровну помсту…. Опис «Banker»: Тім Катерін має багато грошей. На жаль, це гроші інших людей, і його справа вкласти їх з розумом, інакше його звільнять. І прямо зараз він пішов на великий ризик: використав 5 мільйонів, щоб вивести жеребця-чемпіона. Коли в результаті поні мають вроджені вади, Тім хвилюється й вирішує, що в стайні може відбуватися щось інше. Його підозри підтверджуються, коли одного з тих, хто допомагав з кіньми, вбивають. Тепер справа не тільки в грошах, а в житті і смерті. Сповнений рішучості зрозуміти, чому хтось це зробив, Тім піддає себе небезпеці, щоб дізнатися правду… Жанри: Fiction, Mystery, Thriller, Crime, Detective. Ціна-90 грн #dickfrancis #breakin #banker

#felixfrancis #felixfrancisbooks #noreserve #noreservebook #felixfrancisnoreserve #dickfrancis No Reserve by Felix Francis (Book 12 in the Dick Francis Novels series) Theo Jennings, an auctioneer in Newmarket, England, has been climbing the ladder at the bloodstock sales company for the past three years. He’s planning on making his first ever multi-million sale with a yearling colt. When he finds the colt dead a few days after the auction, Theo is suspicious that there was foul play involved. As Theo begins to investigate the death, he finds that answers aren t coming readily from those who he questions. When a person’s body is discovered in the same stable a few days later, all fingers point to him. As his world turns upside down with the accusations, Theo decides to further his investigation. The only way to clear Theo’s name is to find the real murderer, but it isn’t just the police who have their eye on him–the killer has a target on his back.

Sold “Bonecrack” is a novel by Dick Francis, the renowned British author known for his horse racing-themed mystery novels. The book was first published in 1971. Like many of Francis’s novels, “Bonecrack” combines elements of the mystery genre with the world of horse racing.

The story unfolds against the backdrop of the competitive and sometimes ruthless world of horse racing. #dickfrancis #library #oldbookdepot #prelovedbooks #booklover #booksindia #bookreaders #books #bookgram #bookshelf #book #booklovers #booknerd #bookstagram #booklove #bookscommunity #bookstagrammer #bookgeek #bookclub #bookreader #biblophile #bookworm #bookrecommendations #bookaddict #booksbooksbooks #instabook #instabooks

Dick Francis sice nepatří zrovna do drsné školy, ale rozhodně je jedním z autorů, kteří u nás mají obrovské renomé. Ale proč je tak oblíbený? Kvůli dostihům? Akci? Úderným prvním větám?

Odds Against: 4/5 🌟 Mystery/thriller is a rare genre for me to visit, but when I do it tends to be in the form of a Dick Francis novel. Francis is not as well known as I (or my mother who has read more of him) wish he were. An ex-steeplechase jockey-turned writer, this English man primarily wrote novels about crime in the horse race world he knew so well. Most of his main characters are jockeys or ex-jockeys themselves, this particular novel follows a previously established character, Sid Halley, ex-jockey who has become a detective. Halley plays with forces that are at times unbelievable in how dangerous they are. Odds Against presents us with Halley facing a renewed threat after being shot in the gut in the form of a businessman looking to buy up a failing racecourse for land ownership. It's a thrilling read - the climax of a Francis novel tends to drive one to the edge of their seat with how nervously close it all gets to being the end for whomever is being chased. While I may be a horserace/jockey fan myself, I do encourage any and everyone to look into at least one of the many Francis novels out there. He's a staple of the crime genre from the 60s, no matter how niche his corner may seem. 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚 #oddsagainst #dickfrancis #crimenovel #thriller #adultfiction #fiction #fictionreads #books #booklover #steeplechase #bookstagram #bookreview #freepalestine

I read seven books in November--though I must admit I read four of them in one week, so my reading was not evenly spread. If I had to recommend just one of these books, it would be Contract With the World by Jane Rule. A tragic, complex read with lots of interesting characters. But honestly, I liked all of these books! Has anyone else read any of these books or authors? #bookstagram #reading #november #monthlyreading #readingthismonth #books #dickfrancis #junichirotanizaki #ksvilloso #qiumiaojin #caseysutton #janerule #marthawells #wolfoforenyaro #lastwordsfrommontmartre #malfusnecromancerunchained #contractwiththeworld #fugitivetelemetry #murderbot #chroniclesofthebitchqueen

Well, as both his son and a highly regarded author in your own right, you commission a custom-made Study & library of course! At least - that's what Felix Francis did! Felix, the son of the highly revered, best selling crime writer - Dick Francis, turned to Bespoke Studies to design and create an Office & library that would not only showcase his late father's works, but also, his own books; novels that continue the 'Dick Francis' legacy to this day. The impressive, two story, oak library, features an oak staircase, minstrels gallery, open fronted book casing and glazed door cabinetry. The lower library space leads to a matching oak study - where the novelist pens his works. There is also a secret room, accessed via a 'secret door'- disguised as part of the rooms book casing! We were honoured to be asked to celebrate both Felix and his father and we feel we have done the 'Francis' name proud. What do you think?

I had to scroll back through months of photos to find this one. It’s #2in1 challenge photo: #readinglikeabookstagrammer and #twofortuesday 🐎 There was a time in my life when all a book needed was to have a horse on the cover, horse in the title, or horse anywhere in a blurb and I would have to read it. That is why I read these Dick Francis mysteries. Life moved on and I forgot about them. But then I started to see these mysteries pop up on @gilioncdumas posts and I couldn’t believe it. I hadn’t seen them since I was a kid. But now I was on a mission. I have no clue how good they are, but I wanted to read a few for nostalgia sake. I found these two this summer at a used bookstore and grabbed them. Thank you to @gilioncdumas for making me remember a little piece of my childhood. 🐎 🐎 🐎 🐎 🐎 🐎 #dickfrancis #dickfrancismysteries #mysterymonday #bookphotograph #bookchat #bookcoverart #vintagepaperbacks #pocketbookpaperbacks #vintagemystery #bookstagrammer #readingcommunity

V roce 2016 jsem zahájila re-reading knížek Dicka Francise. Tehdy mě zajímalo, jestli všechny ty srdcovky budou po letech ještě fungovat (některé stále fungují), a kdy zhruba se to láme v knížky spíš úsměvné (nečekaně brzo, ale jen jednotlivosti). Přečetla jsem jich 26 a snažila jsem se je číst v pořadí, jak je DF psal, nikoli, jak u nás vycházely. Motiv koní a Risk jsem ale z pořadí vynechala, protože jsem je měla pouze v totálně rozsalátovaném společném vydání „Stopa vede za moře“, se kterým jsem se odmítala babrat (viz foto 2). Ale teď se do re-readingu pustil Jirka, a tak jsme se usnesli, že si místo salátovky pořídíme novější vydání, které drží pohromadě. Tak jsem si řadu mohla doplnit. U Motivu koní by mě dodatečně zajímalo, jestli to DF vědomě psal jako záměrný humoristický román, případně parodii sám na sebe, protože tohle hrdinné rozkrývání rozsáhlé a brutální sítě padělatelů obrazů koní bylo fakt komické až moc. Risk mě bavil víc, a přitom je o účetnictví, tedy něčem, co se pokládá za nudu. Vedle toho tu máme dva pěkné rozbory pobytu v temnotě dřív, než se to stalo módním prostředkem sebepoznání. A nezbytnou porci masochismu. Ale pořád je to čtivý, milý a fajn. A jestli máte knížky Dicka Francise rádi, brzo pro vás budu mít překvapení 😉 #dickfrancis #detektivka #dostihy #coctu #docteno #vicecasunacteni #jjctenarskydenik #knihyknihyknihy #knihstagram #czbookstagram #ukazcoctes
There are now 56 Dick Francis books. 39 of them were written by Richard Francis (1920-2010), a champion jockey who rode for the Queen and the Queen Mother before retiring and turning to a career as a writer. Since then, they've been written by his son, Felix Francis, who has continued writing thrillers in the style of his father. Link in bio to read the full interview. #horseracing #books #dickfrancis

A grandfather’s perhaps, in a den, with pine paneled walls and warm colored carpet, where Clive Cusslers and James Micheners share space with Francis’ horses. Comment below OR message to claim.

Felix Francis turned out to be a ‘master storyteller’ on the stage as well as on the page. Was fascinating listening to him tell us how he came to carry on his father’s literary legacy, and how he gets ideas for his books.

ʷᵉʳᵇᵘⁿᵍ 🅗🅘🅝🅓🅔🅡🅝🅘🅢 𝘍𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘹 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘴, 𝘋𝘪𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘨, 2023 Nach #puls ist dies mein zweiter Krimi von #felixfrancis , dem Sohn von #dickfrancis . Wie bei seinem Vater drehen sich seine Krimis um die Rennpferde-Szene. Auch wenn ich mich mit Pferden wenig auskenne, vermitteln die Krimis mir ein sehr interessanten Einblick in dieses Milieu. Und ein spannender Fall rundet das ganze natürlich auch noch ab. Ich war wieder ziemlich gefesselt von den Ermittlungen, die sich diesmal in Newmarket abspielen. Ein abgebrannter Stall und sieben, zum größten Teil sehr hochwertige, Rennpferde sind tot. Und dann wird auch noch eine Leiche gefunden. Hat er oder sie das Feuer gelegt? Harrison Forster, Anwalt einer auf Schadensbegrenzung spezialisierten Londoner Beratungsfirma, ermittelt im Auftrag des Scheichs Karim, Besitzer des wertvollsten getöteten Pferdes, in Newmarket. Es ist ein mühevoller Auftrag, denn alle Beteiligten vor Ort sind ausgesprochen zurückhaltend mit ihrer Unterstützung und Harrison vermutet schnell, dass sie ihm etwas verheimlichen. Nachdem ich mich in die Geschichte eingelesen hatte und das Geschehen Fahrt aufgenommen hatte, war ich sehr gefesselt. Bei Francis Schreibstil fühlt man sich wie ein stiller Beobachter an der Seite des agierenden Hauptprotagonisten , man kann miträtseln (wenn man mehr kriminalistisches Gespür hat wie ich, kann man sogar auf die Lösung kommen. Ich jedenfalls habe erst am Ende durch die Auflösung den/die Schuldigen genannt bekommen, aber eigentlich war es ja alles so logisch, warum bin ich wieder mal nicht darauf gekommen?!!!). Ich habe mir ja auch immer vorgenommen eines der Bücher von Dick Francis zu lesen, das muss ich jetzt wirklich mal angehen! Sein Sohn schreibt jedenfalls Krimis, die mich fesseln und beeindrucken mit ihren Milieustudien im Rennsportgeschäft und den sehr ausgefeilten Kriminalfällen. #diogenes #bookstagramverbindet #bookiesupport #booklover #krimiliebe #rennsportkrimi #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagram #leseleidenschaft #krimi #ausgelesen2023 #neuerscheinung2023 #diogenesbücher #diogenesverlag #buecherwelt #bücherausdemdiogenesverlag #buchcommunity #buchdestages #lesetipp

PR Gifted • Huge thanks to Sophie Ransom and Poppy Delingpole for my review eARC of No Reserve by Felix Francis which has just been published by @zaffrebooks I’m not sure how I managed to go so long before discovering Dick and Felix Francis (Father and son authors) but I’m so pleased I finally have! I loved No Reserve and will be reading more by these authors. In No Reserve, we meet protagonist Theo (engineer turned auctioneer) as he brings his gavel down upon his largest ever race horse sale. This novel gives a fascinating insight into the world of auctioneering and horse racing. I didn’t know much about the workings of the industry beyond watching the odd race on TV, but found it so interesting to learn about what goes on behind the scenes as well as the amounts of money involved. But back to the story; Theo was suspicious about some bidding during his sale and moments later overhears a conversation which confirms his suspicions. The following morning the horse in question is found dead and Theo explains to his boss what happened. But his boss says nothing can be proven so he should drop it. Theo, however, isn’t keen to drop it and when an attempt is made on his life he is more determined than ever to uncover the treachery. Meanwhile those responsible are determined to keep Theo silent. I found No Reserve compelling reading and it’s so well written I raced (pun intended) through it and it didn’t feel anywhere close to 400 pages. The characters are well developed and have their own stories woven in with Theo’s. The plot is tightly crafted with great changes of pace and some top action scenes; the twists are realistic too. If you love thrillers and horses/horse racing you’ll not be disappointed! #NoReserve #HorseRacing #HorseFiction #Fiction2023 #FelixFrancis #DickFrancis #BooksBooksBooks #Bibliophile #BookstagramUK #BookAddict #LivreAddict #książkoholik #buchblogger #lovereading

🔥Blog Tour🔥 No Reserve - Felix Francis Oh yes! We are into this straight away in classic Francis style, it does exactly what it says on the tin, fast paced, exciting and right up my street. Theo Jennings is a young auctioneer at the Thoroughbred sales ring in Newmarket, where big money exchanges hands in frenzied auctions: millions of Guineas paid for horses that are as yet unnamed, untested, and have never taken a step on the track. It's the greatest gamble in all of horseracing, and one that can end in ruin. Theo has just made the biggest sale of his life, when he overhears a conversation between the two bidders to fix the price of his big sale? When that same horse is found dead the next morning, he has no choice but to investigate, even against the wishes of his boss. But the more he uncovers, the less he can trust the people around him. This set off at a cracking pace and didn’t stop, I’ve always been a fan of Francis’ books, both Dick Francis and Felix too. They are fast, thrilling and almost exclusively set in the horsey world. It is just good old fashioned brilliant story telling at its best. This was a perfect beach read for me, I got totally absorbed, finished it in a day and got fooled by the twists and turns, fab plotting by a master thriller writer. Already looking forward to the next one!

📚 Book Spotlight: No Reserve by Felix Francis Good afternoon everyone I’m pleased to be featuring No Reserve by Felix Francis today. I’ve read and enjoyed a few of Dick Francis’s books so I was very excited to be offered a copy of his son Felix’s new book. It sounds really good and I can’t wait to read it soon. Coincidentally @rossiter_books in Cheltenham are hosting an event with Felix Francis on the 26th of October. Do visit the website or call into the shop to book tickets. Huge thanks to the tagged publishers for my copy of this book. Will you be adding this to your tbr list? ................................................ Theo Jennings is a young auctioneer at the Thoroughbred sales ring in Newmarket. The October yearling sales are where the big money exchanges hands in frenzied auctions: millions of Guineas paid for horses that are as yet unnamed, untested, and have never taken a step on the track. It’s the greatest gamble in all of horseracing, and one that can end in ruin. Theo has just made the biggest sale of his life, when he overhears a secret conversation between the two bidders – can they really have colluded to fix the price of his big sale? When that same horse is found dead the next morning, he has no choice but to investigate, even against the wishes of his boss. But the more he uncovers, the less he can trust the people around him. The higher the stakes, the greater the risk. And in the bloodstock game, the ultimate price can be murder . . . #noreserve #felixfrancis #crimefiction #horseriding #bookspotlight #dickfrancis #newbook #outoctober2023 #bookevent #rossiterbooks
Many thanks to Poppy at @sophie.ransom and @zaffrebooks for my spot on the tour today for this enjoyable read from Felix Francis. No Reserve is a fascinating insight into the world of horse sales and thoroughbreds. I hadn’t realised the complexity of the sales and loved the fact about the horses being sold in guineas still. Theo was a determined young man - convinced of wrongdoing could he actually prove anything and keep himself safe? I had suspicions early on about a character but this didn’t spoil the fun - rather it kept me reading to see if my predictions and thoughts would could through. #noreserve #dickfrancis #felixfrancis #zaffrebooks #booktour #ransompr #adprproduct #booklover
