Hi!
I have a patron who is looking for a British female author who writes
like Dick Francis. Does anyone know who she might be?
Thanks!

Just read a comparison of Clare Francis to Dick Francis. Yes, this is not
a typo...same last name. Her newest is Betrayal. Booklist says "Clare
Francis is quite similar, without being derivitive, to another British
suspense master, Dick Francis."

So let me get this straight: You want information about why reference
librarians always answer a question with another question, right?
