Reader Reviews 1 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Sub Par for Francis, January 15, 2002 Reviewer: Colin Willey from Gloucester, Ontario Canada It had been a while since I had read anything from Dick Francis and I was in the mood for a mystery and saw Slay Ride at a used bookstore for $2.00. Let's just say it's a good thing that I didn't pay any more. The bulk of the murder-mystery story takes place in Norway. After main character, David Cleveland is sent to investigate a death is Oslo; he is nearly killed in a boating mishap. The book takes some predicable turns until the killer is flushed out. By the end of the novel, I was quite bored and the end left me unfulfilled. I am used to a better quality novel from Dick!
