Free choice? There's no such thing, according to Lee Morris. Choice is pre-ordained by your personality. Stratton Park racecourse faces ruin in the hands of a squabbling family. Lee is slowly sucked into the turmoil, unwillingly on the surface but half-understanding the deep compulsions that influence his decisions. One road leads to safety, another to death. How do you know which is which?

But when his expert advice is called into play over sub-standard alcohol in a local night club, connections start to click, and another person dies, horribly.

When he wakes in a pitch-black room with his hands bound, Roland Britten – accountant and champion steeplechase jockey – knows he’s entered a nightmare of someone else’s making.

Peter Darwin was hoping for some quiet leave from the Foreign Office. Instead he found himself in the village of his childhood, at the service of a veterinary surgeon whose operating theater was rapidly acquiring an unwanted reputation as an abattoir. The sudden unexplained death of a string of valuable racehorses from one small area in Gloucestershire was a mystery the police couldn't solve. But Darwin was local. He remembered people and what was at stake. And now he knew enough to get himself killed.

Histoire
Six years ago, investigator Sid Halley retired for good. He'd been harassed, beaten, shot, even lost a hand to his investigating business, and enough was enough. For the sake of his wife and new daughter he gave up that life of danger and uncertainty, and he thought nothing would ever lure him back into the game. He thought wrong. Sir Richard Stewart, chairman of the racing authority, begs Sid to investigate a series of dodgy races. Sid adamantly refuses, but the following day, Sir Richard is found dead under suspicious circumstances. And then a man with an Irish accent contacts Sid, telling him to deliver a whitewashed report about the suspected race-fixing...or else.

Malcolm Pembroke never expected to make a million pounds without making enemies. Nor did he expect his latest wife to be brutally murdered. All the clues suggest the killer comes from close to home, but after five marriages and nine children, that still leaves the field wide open.
When he find his own life in danger, Pembroke entrusts his safety to his estranged son, Ian, an amateur jockey; and through him discovers a compulsive new outlet for his financial expertise. Soon he's playing the international blood stock market for incredible stakes. Not the safest bet for a man on the run from avaricious relatives. Particularly when one of them's got a bomb.

Another Dick Francis Great!
I'm a Dick Francis Fan, so seeing so many more added to the store has just made me so happy! This title I hadn't read until just last month, so seeing Audible has it, was great! I love Tony Britton's voice, and this story, while not completely on a racing incident, had racing peripherally in the story line. I loved the story of Ian reconciling with his father, and then learning about his zany family added to this one's charm. As to who was trying to kill Ian's father, it had me guessing til the end. For one to enjoy cuddled up maybe even with a friend, you can't go wrong with this book!

GOOD SHOW!
Would you consider the audio edition of Hot Money to be better than the print version?
I liked this book! It was different, not your average cop-detective story, nor your run-of-the-mill who done-it. The characters are so realistic some of them could be my own brothers. I missed them once the story ended. It also paid respect to the police, not making them all out to be dumb-clucks. In fact, most of them were not only kind, but also had great intellectual input. It may have dragged a little, yet it always came back with flair. My first listen with this narrator, who also seemed to have a great intellectual input, along with female voices his own mother, should be proud of. Good Show!
What other book might you compare Hot Money to and why?
I have been reading who-done-its for thirty years, no other book compares to this. It's in a league of it's own. Original plot line, charactures and completely different approach to solving crime. I seems in crime writting today there is a standard routine to all of them, but not this one.
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene was the night he went into the house and felt ....well..creepy. So creepy they left.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
It was particually moving when his father goes to his first race; nothing like it, he gets addicted.
Any additional comments?
I miss listening to this, I am addicted.

brilliantly narrated
I've listened to many of Dick Francis' novels and they are all terrific; Hot Money is no exception.
There is a lot of "character development" in this book, more so than anything short of Dostoyevsky. Yet Francis keeps it moving along exceptionally well.
What really set this book apart was the language. If you like British English, you'll absolutely love this one. Of course all of Francis' novels use British English, but this one somehow has an extra dose that almost made me feel like I was listening to P.G. Wodehouse. Tony Britton really brought this book to life wonderfully.

Very pleasant
The story is about Malcolm, five wives, money-hungry relatives, an estranged son, and a murder. And, of course, horses. The story begins with the murder of Malcolm's newest wife, and an attempted murder of Malcolm himself. He turns to his son Ian for protection. Ian protects Malcolm and plays amateur detective at the same time. This story isn't the Ludlum genre: super criminals, roller coaster thrills, incomprehensible plots, and high drama in italics. Hot Money is easy to understand. It moves along gently, a canter, not a gallop (perhaps I mean that it's slow), But I'll probably listen to it again some time, because I enjoyed the pace. It's the sort of book that fills you with the leisurely glow of a holiday. The characters are alive. I could understand every bit of the plot, and I must confess that this is a sort of achievement for me. My earphones weren't unputdownable, but the prospect of picking them up was always pleasant. AND, the narration is excellent (how does he do it?)

Great fun!
I usually don't read this type of book, but I have to say, it was great fun. Dick Francis takes you you on a fascinating, catch-me-if-you-can caper with the most dysfuctional (and hysterical) family the world has ever seen. It was really worth the credit. Great fun!

Tony Britton hot narration
I don't know what he looks like and frankly who cares....but when Tony Britton utters the first line of this book you'll be hooked --- it's so thoroughly English, a touch snobby and (to me) the hysterically funny renditions of the Dick Francis stable of characters may spoil you for other books. Now I look for anything narrated by this man. A total junk food listen.

If you like action-adventure, Francis never let's you down. This is one of his best, allowing you to keep suspended and really identify with the hero's most frightening events. Take this one for a whirl!

First Read (listen) - Great Start
Dick Francis gave me relevance (horse racing and gambling) with excellent dialogue (working and middle class Briton) while performer Tony Britton's presentation created real excitement.
I was hooked on Audible after this first up purchase.

Dick Francis being Dick Francis
What made the experience of listening to Hot Money the most enjoyable?
Dick Francis tells a great story and they are all different. there is nothing horrible in a Francis book, no cringe making imagery to bum you out. Just a clever well written story.
Who was your favorite character and why?
i liked them all. always a collection of colorful, eccentric, and unusual people made very true to life.
What about Tony Britton’s performance did you like?
he gets the story.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
lots of laughs at the foibles and absurdities.
Any additional comments?
if you like Dick Francis you will like this book. if you want an interesting light mystery with clever dialogue and believable characters who are very human you will like this one. if you want dark, violent, twisted emotions and a break neck plot that makes your heat race don't get this book.
