Book Review: Gamble by Felix Francis

Gamble by Felix Francis is a who done it, murder/mystery/action/crime book.  Carrying on in his father's tradition, Felix Francis continues with horse racing as the backdrop of the stories. His father, Dick Francis published over 40 works of fiction in this genre before his death.

In this installment, there are murders that all seem to link together and have something to do with gambling, investing, and financial deals gone terribly wrong.  The hero of the story is also a primary target, and he is trying to solve the mystery to save his life.  The police are just a little too slow for his comfort.

I'll put this in the "fun beach read" category.  Fun to read, well-written, but a bit forgettable.  And that's OK.  A good beach read is made to be forgotten.  I still enjoyed it and it kept me occupied and entertained.
