Perfect for you if...

You enjoy crime thrillers with high personal stakes where the protagonist has to outthink dangerous antagonists.
You appreciate detailed settings and insider knowledge, whether that's horse racing or any world the author knows intimately.
You want tight plotting and clean prose that gets out of the way of the story, without stylistic flourishes or detours.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a cosy, low-stakes mystery where the stakes feel manageable and the tone is lighthearted.
You're looking for a book centred on relationships or emotional depth. This is plot-driven and propulsive.
You prefer elaborate twists and unreliable narrators. Francis favours straightforward, intelligent problem-solving.
