Dick Francis Reading Group discussion

Felix posted the following on Facebook this morning:

Dear Friends, Fans and Followers in the US,
Your wait is finally over!!
GUILTY NOT GUILTY goes on sale today in the United States!!
For some reason, my American publishers are being lukewarm about offering me a contract for the next two books. Perhaps they are waiting to see how GUILTY NOT GUILTY fares. So please, can you all do me a favor – please order online today or go out and buy/order a copy of GUILTY NOT GUILTY from your local bookstore. Better still, buy one for yourself and also another copy to give away to someone for Christmas who hasn’t yet discovered the excitement of a Francis thriller. It might make the difference between more of my books being available in the US or not.
Much love to you all, Felix

Go follow Felix on Facebook to see the picture of Felix with James Patterson holding a copy of Guilty Not Guilty.

Have any of you read it yet? I haven't had a chance yet.

I loved his dad, but sadly I haven't been impressed by Felix. But I haven't tried one lately... maybe it's time to try again?

This is one of his best — and you won't see the ending coming.

Just started it today. I have liked Felix's writing.

They weren't my favorite in the beginning, but that probably wasn't fair. He had such big shoes to fill! Now that some time has passed, I need to give them a second chance. I read the first chapter of one of the newest to come out and thought it seemed like it would be a great read.

It is indeed difficult not to compare Felix to his father, especially in the beginning when his books still headlined "a Dick Francis novel". But in my opinion Felix is a very fine writer on his own, and in fact I like the way he has been developing. His last three or four novels have been absolute hits for me, I really loved reading those.

Thanks, Helle. That helps me want to read his latest ones even more.
