Dick Francis

Sadly, one of my very favorite authors, Dick Francis, passed away on February 14 at the age of 89. I have enjoyed his stories for years, especially in audiobook form, and am saddened to think that this era has come to an end. His last few books were collaborations with his son, so perhaps Felix will carry on the tradition. Reports are that most of the books were collaborations with his wife, and many criticized that they were formulaic. True - but I still loved them! The crimes were always ingenious and I always thought it was a good thing that he decided to be a writer instead of a crook.
