Death at Fakenham Races

Q: Do I have to buy the ebook to participate in a book club?

No, you don’t have to buy the ebook to participate, but we do recommend it to get the most out of your club. There are several premium social reading features that are only available when you buy the ebook, like annotations, reactions, comment threads, resources, discussion prompts, and more, all embedded right in the text. It’s a unique and immersive way to read.

Q: Why can’t I buy the ebook on the app?

It’s annoying, we know. App store rules prevent us from selling directly in the app, so for now you can only purchase ebooks on our website. Don’t worry: when you purchase an ebook on the web, it’s automatically added to your bookshelf in the app.

Q: How is Fable’s reader different from Kindle?

Kindle is a straightforward e-reader; Fable is an interactive e-reader that includes social features inside the ebooks. When you read an ebook on Fable, you can see and react to the text with others in real time. Start a discussion, share highlights and quotes, add emoji reactions—all of it lives right inside the book. It’s hard to explain and easy to see, so we recommend reading the free sample in one of our most active clubs to get a feel for it.

Q: Do you sell physical books too?

We do not sell physical books at this time. Wish we did? Let us know why here!

“The story: When Norfolk police receive an anonymous call about a disturbance at Fakenham Race Course on a snowy December night, two uniformed police officers are quickly dispatched to investigate. And when one is seriously injured by an unknown intruder, it’s clear something is not right. But when the snow thaws, Detective Inspector Ashley Knight and the Norfolk Major Investigation Team have a bigger problem on their hands… a body. As the crimes mount up, Ashley and the team are sure they are linked to the complicated world of horse racing. But will they be able to untangle things in time, or will the killer strike again? My thoughts: Following hot on the heels of "Death at Horsey Mere", which published earlier this year, "Death at Fakenham Races" is the fifth instalment in the Norfolk Murder series by Ross Greenwood, featuring DI Ashley Knight and her team. This has been an action-packed series with some complex, sometimes international cases. This time we stay closer to home, with a series of crimes linked to Fakenham Race Course, and the various people that are associated with it and the world of horses – from bookies to trainers, owners and jockeys. The first murder is something of a puzzle, with the victim being generally well liked, but there is a hint of something dodgy in a past race where a favourite, The Taciturn Man, unexpectedly pulled up at the final jump. Was this just the unpredictable nature of racing, or is there the possibility of race fixing? As ever, Ashley and the team delve into the intricacies of the case (with some of them more interested in horse racing than others!), each bringing their own skills to the challenge. This includes detective Hector Fade – previously on the fast-track scheme to high places in the force, he returns under something of a cloud… but it’s great to have him back! Ashley herself is in a pretty good place in this book, but still struggling to find the joy in her personal life that she finds in her work. The end of this book ends with some hope on that front (but I’ve said that before!). I also have a soft spot for her somewhat difficult detective constable Barry Hooper, and I hope things can work out for him too, one way or another! Overall this was an enjoyably twisting case, with the backdrop of the racing community adding a great level of complexity for the team at MIT to get their teeth into!”

“It’s part of 5 book series and it was amazing brutal attack at Fakenham Racecourse plunges DI Ashley Knight into the competitive world of horse racing, where fortunes are won and lost in the blink of an eye. As the investigation unfolds, a chilling discovery reveals a darker side to this glamorous sport. In these high-stakes arenas, where winning is everything and everyone has something to hide, a few are willing to cross the ultimate line.”

“Death at Fakenham Races started with an injured police officer after a call came in due to a disturbance. Shortly after, in the snow, the first victim was discovered. DI Ashley Knight and her team found themselves in the equestrian world of horse racing and gambling and had to learn and understand how this works super quick if they wanted an arrest quickly. Winning was everything from the bookies to the horse owners and jockeys. What has this world got to offer and to hide … the whispers, the rumours and grudges … who is telling the truth, who is keeping things secret and who do you trust? Another fantastic book by Ross Greenwood, the 5th book in his Norfolk Series … highly recommend reading them!!”
