Dick Francis Reading Group discussion

Got given a number of Dick Francis books for free a while ago (see my entry in the introductions). Coming to the end of Shattered now which was a later one set around the millenium. Not really racing based but centreded on a Broadway glassblower - there is a lot of pages trying to locate a missing video tape which dates the novel rather. As we know the baddies are alwsas bad but this onecsadly felt a bit flat.
