ICED Dick Francis Novels, Book 10

This entertaining audiobook, narrated masterfully by Golden Voice Martin Jarvis, is more than the story of a jockey racing a horse down the icy slope known as the Cresta Run. It's a novel about jockey Miles Pussett's struggles with depression, dependency, heartbreak, love, and the legacy of his father, a famed jockey who died in an accident while saving young Miles's life. In an upbeat style, Jarvis transforms Felix Francis's latest book into a fast-paced romp. Jarvis skillfully creates distinctive voices for the people who inhabit Miles's life and the demons who inhabit his psyche while giving life to his other challenges, particularly with races whose results never match his horses' prowess.
