Break In by Dick Francis
4.0
A mystery where no one is murdered, not even horses ?! Only Dick Francis could have pulled this off and he does it and how!!
Once again Dick Francis comes up with a unique plot, with interesting characters and a Hero to root for.
I don't think I have ever met a gentleman (in real life or in fiction) like any of Francis's Heroes. Kit (Christmas) Fielding has tons of patience, clever, resilient, charming and wins almost every race he rides in!
Along with horse racing, we get to know how media works - print and TV, how TV news are edited and aired. These might be obsolete technology, and may not even be accurate in the 80s, but it was still fun.
I am not giving full 5*, because the way Kit easily gets incriminating evidence against the Villain was a bit far-fetched.
The audible narration by Tony Britton was a treat to listen to.
