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.

This one had a lovely mystery with lots of action and of course all wrapped up nicely in the end.

Great storyline, interesting characters, and a very nice resolution at the end.

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!

Sid gets off to a great start with a rollicking good tale. We know the who from the first but we don’t know the what, where, why, or how and its great fun finding out.

Started with a bang, then took a little while to get going but everything clicked into place as soon as I worked out what was going on. Well worth the re-read!

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.

Been over 30 years since I read all these multiple times. Be interesting to see how they hold up.

Nice wrapping up of lots of threads and more character development. Will have to wait impatiently for another tale in the universe and watch the TV show in the meantime.

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!

Still my favourite book series and I’m sad there are only 2 more left. Much longer full length tale with multiple moving parts and new characters to add to the universe.
