KundenrezensionenHilfreichste Kundenrezensionen1 von 1 Kunden fanden die folgende Rezension hilfreich. naja...Von margaes ist kein DICK Francis. Bei diesem Buch fehlt es mir irgendwie an Subtilitt und Leidenschaft. Ich habe den Eindruck, dass die Spannung hauptschlich durch ein immer hheres Ma an Schrecken und Brutalitt erzeugt wird... ein leicht durchschaubares und auf Dauer eher langweiliges Muster.0 von 0 Kunden fanden die folgende Rezension hilfreich. Pferdesportkrimi mit lauer SpannungVon berlinfanDie Krimis rund um den Pferdesport waren vom Vater Dick Francis wesentlich spannender geschrieben und besser aufgebaut. Dieser Roman trpfelt so dahin. Er ist aber lesbar und nett geschrieben. Fr den Strand oder abends ins Bett ganz in Ordnung.0 von 1 Kunden fanden die folgende Rezension hilfreich. Francis goodVon Anne JrgensenAs always with both father and son, good plot, little violence, humor and understatement, and quite British indeed ....love it.

A stunning addition to the family line."--"Booklist" (starred review) "With "Gamble" in 2011 and now "Bloodline," Felix Francis shows that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree...the story unfolds with the suspense and insistent pace readers expect from their annual Francis fix."--"Washington"" Times" "Francis ably follows in the footsteps of his father, Dick Francis, with his second stand-alone set in the English horse racing world... Fans will have a hard time distinguishing this solid thriller from the father's work."--"Publishers Weekly" GAMBLE "[Felix] Francis shares his father's gift for brisk storytelling."--"Publisher's Weekly" "Fans of Dick Francis' suspense masterpieces should rejoice: Felix has produced a mystery with a racing setting (the , no less); a retired but still yearning ex-jockey as the detective; and an intriguing mix of racing and other business."--"Booklist" ""Gamble" has all the things that loyal readers have anticipated in their annual Francis fix: a taut and intelligent story full of suspense, danger and mystery in spare and fast-moving prose that keeps readers' attention . . . Francis novels, under new management, will continue to find themselves at the very top levels of genre fiction."--"Washington"" Times"KurzbeschreibungRefusal is the new Dick Francis novel from bestseller, Felix Francis.
