Ned is fairly low key, as most British men are, and is trying to make a decent living setting up his "shop" in racecourses all around England.The book opens on a race day with Ned selling racing bet slips to the general public, and a man announces to him that he is Ned's father, whom he hasn't seen for 36 of his 37 years on earth. Before Ned can get much, if any, information from this man who claims to be his father, the man is murdered right in front of him while they were leaving the racetrack parking lot.The story takes off from there, and Ned is a reluctant, amateur 007 trying to figure out what his father had been up to all these years, and why he was murdered. In between his sleuthing, Ned has to deal with his wife's hospitalization for a bi-polar disease, otherwise known as manic depressive disorder.The characters didn't grab me the way the previous books have, and I was not that invested in their stories. They seemed a bit two dimensional to me, and it took me quite a while to warm up to them. There was a lot of information on race track betting in England, which was a bit confusing to me and seemed a tad unneccesary to the overall story. The Francis hallmark has always revolved around racetracks or racehorses, and has given the reader some inside information. However, Francis has always given us characters that we could become quite fond of, and love to root for, while I feel this book didn't quite do that. As well, the decriptions of the locals and the countryside weren't as vibrant for me as they have been in the past.I did warm up to the characters and the story a little more than halfway through, and it did have a satisfying conclusion. While I was a bit disappointed that the book wasn't as great as all the others, I have high hopes that they will get it right next time! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bookmaker *by P***F on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 14, 2022* Yet another viewpoint of racing, this time from the perspective of a racetrack bookie. As always Felix provides a wealth of information both about bookmaking as well as racetracks and interesting historical bits. The book is certainly a Francis and well worth a read. The main difference between a Felix Francis book and a Dick Francis book is the horses. Felix mentions many horses by name but we do not get the up close and personal relationships with the horses as you do in a Dick Francis story. I miss that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but . . . . *by K***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 9, 2022* Good, well-written and plotted, interesting storyline, but doesn't have his father's touch in making his protagonist likeable. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/8783444-even-money](https://www.desertcart.is/products/8783444-even-money) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
