Enquiry

by Dick Francis Narrated by Ralph Cosham

Overview

Jockey Kelly Hughes and trainer Dexter Cranfield have been barred from racing-a devastating event for them both. The charge at the secret enquiry? Throwing a race for personal profit. It is a vicious frame-up, and worse, they have nowhere to turn to clear their names. Still, Hughes refuses to take the phony verdict lying down-even though his personal enquiry might have him lying down permanently.

APR/MAY 06 - AudioFile

A jockey unfairly suspended by a commission of enquiry sets out to clear himself and a trainer in this BBC Radio dramatization of one of Francis's racing mysteries. The acting is professional and the sound quality good, except for the attempt to have characters seem to be moving off while speaking; as they recede, one strains to hear them. While background music and other cues make the story seem dated by several decades, the only real problem is the abridgment. The story seems abrupt and jumpy, never developing or even catching its breath, and the mystery is too easily solved. Still, it entertains, within its limits. W.M. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
