Book Reviews of Slay Ride
Book Review: Dunk in a fjord.
Summary: 3 Stars
SLAY RIDE follows the normal Francis formula, but the life threatening assault on the hero, David Cleveland opens the story. This doesn't leave much time to develop the suspense that characterizes most Dick Francis novels. It was too easy to figure out "who-done-it", which spoils the fun, for the reader, of a mystery.
The betrayal by a friend is sad, but plodding like a hard run race that didn't make it. But by all means read SLAY RIDE for the interest of knowing an author who stands head above the rest at a low point, it gives you insight into his power of storytelling.
Nash Black, author of WRITING AS A SMALL BUSINESS and SINS OF THE FATHERS.
