Disappointing

Unfortunately very disappointing. None of the pace or character distinctiveness of a true DF novel. Took forever to get moving out of the gate, and limped into the finish. Also very annoyed with the constant whinging about her instrument. Overall boring.

Another great Dick Francis

What made the experience of listening to Dead Heat the most enjoyable?

The voice of the narrator and nice turns in the story: Allthough a completly new field (cooking instead of riding), it is well researched and this very interesting to get insights of how to run a restaurant.

What does Felix Francis and Tony Britton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Tony Britton has such a gentle and calm voice, he is perfect for bringing Dick Francis'characters to life, which are usually no heroes, but no fools either.
