[Aria Acree · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was pretty fun to read. Right off the bat it opened up with a triple frame story: the main character is in the hospital, flashes back to a previous race during which he flashes back to being 9 years old...it was amazing. The author was doing that thing some authors do where they drop in their research verbatim which was kind of funny in its own way. For all that, it actually was a pretty fun mystery story.

A decent mystery in the fun world of Formula One racing of years gone by. A fun diversion that I thoroughly enjoyed.
