The tag on the post has lots of other Dick Francis reviews! My favorite of the handful I've read so far is Bonecrack. (Rachel, I only know about Francis through your reviews, so thank you!)

Lol, and this exchange just happened in my head:

Wait, your favorite is Bonecrack in good part because one of the characters reminds you of Denethor. That doesn't mean it'll work for other people. Reconsider recommending.

...Wait, this is grayswandir, the other Denethor fan!

:'D
