Obituary
LONDON (AP) — A spokeswoman says best-selling British thriller writer and former jockey Dick Francis has died in his home in the Cayman Islands. He was 89.
Francis was the author of 42 novels. He was also a successful jockey, winning over 350 races.
He retired from racing in 1957 and took up writing, first as a racing correspondent for Britain's Sunday Express newspaper. He began writing novels in 1962.
His spokeswoman, Ruth Cairns, says Sunday the writer is survived by two sons, five grandchildren and one great-grandson.

I enjoyed reading his books, made me feel like I was really part of the racing scene in England.
His family should be very proud of his wonderful contributions to the literary world.

I am so thankful to Dick Francis for having had the pleasure of reading all or most of his "world of horse racing" novels.

Dick Francis was a good auther.
Although I DIDN'T get into his books
like some-my favorie book of his was TO THE HILT. His only book I've ever read.
I liked Alexander Kinloch and his story.
And I liked Al's wife Emily and Al's mother too.
And the horse Golden Malt.
Good characters-wonderful tale.
RIP Dick.
