Engaging, funny, entertaining, interesting. Stephen Fry did an excellent job here.
Blood Sport by Dick Francis
The book's main character is depressed, suicidal ideation and the main characters mental health status is a major plot point and he is actively considering suicide at multiple points throughout the narrative, coming very close a couple of times.
Those passages are very well written, Francis knew/understood - this is where this book got the 4.5 rating from, not the stolen horses plot.
But because of the inclusion of this type of content, the book may not be comfortable to read for e.g. someone who has lost a close loved one to suicide.

4.5
This is a powerful book.

Flying Finish by Dick Francis
2.5
The ending left quite a few questions unanswered, and the decision not to leave in the Cessna made absolutely no sense.
