Rambling: Dick Francis

[buttononthetop]

The world of mysteries and thrillers has lost one of its greatest.


31 October 1920 – 14 February 2010 

If you've never read one of Mr. Francis's novels, you're missing out on a great ride. The NY Times has a lovely obituary here, saying all the things I wish I could about this great man and great author.

He will be missed.

Gosh I didn't realise he was so old. I suppose you see the picture on the dust cover and forget they were taken decades ago.

I love his stories. He has had many imitators but he will always be the best in that genre.

He will be sorely missed.

I know! I mean, if you look at his book list you know he's been doing this for a while, but I was just shocked. It's nice to know someone had a long full life, even if you'll miss them terribly.

:( You said it perfectly. He will be sorely missed.
