About this listen

HOW DO YOU FIX A HORSE RACE?

Life is passing Holly Grant by. She had dreams of being a journalist. Now in her late twenties, she's a bored office worker. But on her train home, Holly has eight thousand pounds drop into her lap, along with a curious note. Does she get off the north-bound train, as normal, and pop the money into the local police station on the way home to her scatter-brained mother, or does she stay on the train until it reaches Newcastle and take the money to someone who might know what the note means and allow her to pursue the mystery further?

'Fixed' introduces Holly Grant and Eugene Bainbridge-Hall as they follow the trail left by money that was meant to ensure a horse race was fixed. As Holly and Bain delve deeper, all routes lead back to a family based in Epsom who may be planning the mother of all coups...

'Fixed' is the eighth racing novel by Richard Laws, and the first in a series featuring Grant and Bainbridge. Richard is the author of Amazon number-one bestsellers in the horse racing category including, 'The Syndicate Manager', 'Gimcrack', 'Causing Interference', and 'Cheat'.

Interesting story

This was an interesting story. The narration was good enough and I "tuned in" to it after a while. Another reviewer had mentioned that the sound quality wasn't great - it's correct that the sound quality is not up to Audible's usual standard but it was still listenable - maybe Audible could support Richard Laws to record more books at studio quality...?
Would definitely listen to more horse racing related stories by Richard Laws if they were published.

Not to bad

The book is not bad at all, however the reader makes a book, the narrator makes it a wee bit boring. For a first attempt into the racing world it is not bad. It is not a Dick Francis (very hard to be) but a decent listen if you can get past the boredom of the narrator.

Poor recording

Unfortunately this recording has a tinny sound, the narrator has a flat delivery and seems disinterested. I tried to stick with it but couldn’t get past Chapter 10. A shame because the story has potential to be a good listen. I will be returning it.
