About this listen

Miles Pussett is a former steeplechase jockey but he now gets his adrenalin rush from hurling himself, head first, down the Cresta Run, a three-quarter-mile long Swiss ice chute, reaching speeds of up to 80 miles per hour.

Finding himself in St Moritz during the same weekend as White Turf, when high-class horse racing takes place on the frozen lake, Miles gets talked into helping out with the horses. It is against his better judgement.

Seven years before, he left horseracing behind and swore he would never return. When he discovers something suspicious is going on in the races, something that may have a profound impact on his future life, Miles begins to search for answers. But someone is adamant to stop him—and they’ll go to any lengths to do it...

After reading the reviews of the book I was unsure about ordering the Audible version.
The story wasn't about out and out detective work but covered mental health in a sympathetic way. It also highlighted the struggle many jockies have to make the wait.
This coupled with the history of the Cresta Run and the White Turf racing was very educational.
I wondered why the Audible version took so long to come out but I can only assume they were waiting for Martin Jarvis to read it. It was well worth the wait as it was read beautifully.
Hope the next one is not another 2 years.

Different format, same great writing.

Martin Jarvis is a fine actor and he has done previous voiceovers with skill. Sadly, his reading of Dick/Felix Francis are dreadful,over stressing words and over acting to such an extent that he made this unlistenable.Felix Francis should stick to writing racing thrillers not this
over emphasis on mental health-not the forum and very unsuccessful. A waste of money

Such a shame

Struggled to complete -weak story, frustrating main character who I just couldn't like, even h8s name was awful! The secondary characters were predictable. Feels like it was rushed, nothing new from same now tired MO. No real plot line other than alcoholism and PTSD. I imagine the subjects could act as a trigger for some. This could well be the last Francis book I will read which is incredibly sad. Narration patchy and disengaging

Not up to usual standard

Felix has all the attributes of his father, a stunning good listen. Well done again Martin Jarvis well read.

Martin Jarvis sounds like he's going to burst into tears making this hard going

Sound subjects overdramatic narrator

Another good story line from Felix Francis leaving the listener/reader guessing to the last few lines who is the protagonist. I’ve loved all his plot lines, truly a great story teller and Martin Jarvis is perfect as the reader,clear diction and intonation

Excellent story

Truly more about addiction, alcohol, drugs, failure, than it is about horses. And because of that, far above so many “mystery’s” in that it gives us an insight into what destroys, and what heals. A well written story, and an introduction to a very human character. Thanks from these listeners.

Better than average

Not a typical Francis book with a traditional white knuckle winter sport also featured but the study of alcohol dependency and mental health took its toll and my emotions certainly kicked in.
A really worthwhile read and plenty to think about on mental health and addiction now I have finished it.
Beautifully read by Martin Jarvis.

A very emotional book

This was a depressing book to listen to. I did listen to it all but I found it long and drawn out with parts I found not suitable for easy listening.

Disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Ponderous narration not helping a story that has failed to grip me. Sad, as am a lover of Dick Francis And Felix Francis books.

Can't get into it
