Review: Call for the Dead

Call for the Dead by John le Carré
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A younger Smiley combines analysis with a bit of action, such as it is. Enjoyable for the writing and the short intro to Smiley.

Review: Field of Thirteen

Field of Thirteen by Dick Francis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this collection of Francis’ racing related short stories. Having read most of his novels, and noting that the novels tended to have a kind of formula, I wondered how he would approach his short stories. He seemed to have dropped his formula, making these more O Henry in revolving around a twist. Instead of focusing on the hero, some of these stories revolved around the villain. You can tell Francis was having some fun trying things out, and that made these fun to read.
