Time to re-evaluate Francis? I picked these two up by chance and was surprised by how good they are (to my mind anyway). Gripping, well constructed plots, interesting insights into themes other than racing - kidnapping and photography in these cases - and above all entirely credible characters. When in need of an unproblematic and exciting read you probably can't do much better than these (and, no doubt, his others).
