Some masterful storytelling to begin and end the book with the same setup, the same scene. Great mystery in between with some good characters to enjoy and to hate.

We know the who, the what, the where, the when, and the why. It's a very well crafted tail that that explains the how. Cracking finish and great characters along the way.
As usual there are great characters and a twisty plot. Some good technical sections regarding the flying stuff that hopefully was well researched. Landed the finish rather well.

I didn’t think when rereading all the Dick Francis books that I would find one I hadn’t previously read decades ago, but here it is. Much darker lead character than you normally get. Good engaging plot and a dark finish.

Lovely slow build and intriguing plot lines. Loved all the characters and the barnstorming finish!

The lack of technology in the tale allows it to be more timeless than it otherwise would have. Good twisty plot and good character development. One line stuck out and should be removed if there is a later edition, but other wise it all held up pretty well.

The only problem with this literary universe is that there isn’t enough of it. This morsel had some great who done it plot lines along with new characters and character growth and of course the awesome jumbled up mess that is murderbot!
