Smokescreen

So this was in the Mystery Box. Well, I've never read any Francis, so a new experience. Thanks, Annelis!
It wasn't half bad. I was a bit expecting something more focused on horse racing and that I'd need to know about it but there wasn't really too much of that and everything was explained well enough that no existing knowledge was needed. The plot is very tight, what with less than 200 pages to spend, so there's very little extraneous stuff in the book. It's interesting how, even when it looks like no theory could explain everything, it then turns out that there is an explanation, like in traditional detective stories.
I doubt I'll be seeking any Francis but if something of his comes my way, I'll probably read it.

The smokescreen was used to get this book in my bag and all the way to Vuosaari.
Will read it sometimes when I feel like it, or put it on the road if it is wanted on someones wishlist ;-)
