Dead Heat Dick and Felix Francis

Dick Francis is a bazillion years old, and I understand this book is his first in eight years. But he is a prolific author. Usually he writes murder mysteries with an English racing/jockey theme. This time he is a chef, but cooking for a racing event in this novel. There is a love story, and interesting mentions of the London Symphony, viola music, and Gordon Ramsey. And lots of local color. I like Francis' writing, fast, but compelling reading.
