COME TO GRIEF

Simon Jones treats listeners to the latest of Francis's mysteries involving ex-jockey Sid Halley who is investigating the insidious mutilation of race horses. Grim as the crime is, listeners will be intrigued by Francis's compelling story. Jones presents the world of horse trainers, owners, jockeys and the racing powers with ease. His characters have nice distinction and make up for some of the character development excised in the abridgment. Jones has a steadiness to his narration, which adds to the suspense and keeps listeners keenly tuned. R.F.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 96]
