Under Orders

I just finished reading Dick Francis's book Under Orders. I've been a Dick Francis reader for years. I loved Banker and Bolt, and have read many of his other works. He's very prolific. A writer friend of mine, Eileen Dreyer (go to www.eileendreyer.com), and I were discussing Dick Francis's writing a while back. Her comment was that Dick Francis can lay everything out on the dining room table, but you won't see it until he's ready for you to see it.

Under Cover, which is set in England in the racing world and uses Sid Halley, a former jockey turned detective, didn't disappoint.
