As a long-time fan of Dick Francis' horse racing mysteries, I must say that this one is one of my favorites. The contrast between brothers' careers and lifestyles makes fascinating reading as the world of gemstones is revealed. The basic premise of the story is how the protagonist becomes better acquainted with his brother after his brother's death, in both his business and personal life. A terrific read as always. My paperback copy fell apart from overuse so I had to put it on my Fire for posterity!
I love this book! and have read it many times. I bought this copy to give to my sister as a birthday gift. There aren't many books that I re-read, but this is definitely one of them. Dick Francis is one of my favorite authors and Straight is by far his best work. I love the fact that much of his research was done by his wife.
Most delicious exploration into the world of gems and precious stones by way of an older brother's unexpected death. A brilliant security obsessed man leaves his brother everything including love and missing sparkles.
I really like the books by Dick Francis, they have mystery, and some romance. The mysteries aren't gory, and the romance is not the "bodice ripper" type. I like the romance to be a little subtle, as I have an imagination, and don't want a lot of graphic detail. It isn't necessary. This is a good book, and keeps your attention all the way through.
My favorite Dick Francis books because of the descriptions of all the gadgets the hero's brother left. The learning curve he undergoes is fun. The other characters are well depicted. As usual the horse racing side of the story is well done.
Well now, this was a very compelling story with a lot of twists and turns! I very much enjoyed the romp Dick Francis took me on with this story. The older brother vs younger brother is a universal dynamic (I'm guessing), and I think their being so different helped the storyline. At any rate, I found it a bit stressful to have Derek Franklin seemingly falling into so much s***, aka trouble, based on the previous activities of this older brother, who was accidentally killed. I also liked that Derek wondered a fair bit about who Greville really was and how well they actually knew each other. At any rate, this was a first time for me reading this genre (other than Tony Hillerman) and I have to say, I loved it!
This book is a page turner from page one.
It kept me wanting to read what happens next.
The Author writes well and interested in all the characters.
