   Character problem

   As usual Francome packs his book with so many individuals that one finds it difficult to remember who's who. What looks like a main character bites the dust efter 50 pages (and three top steeplechase horses soon follow suit). There is a lot of intrigue but soon you realise that you don't know why all of the perifial characters are stabbing each other in the back. Not his best book and hardly worth the time.
