In The Frame (by Dick Francis) app for iPhone and iPad

IN THE FRAME by Dick Francis (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Action, character, and color ride in perfect balance again…Francis stays on top because he remembers to touch bottom.” (Kirkus Reviews)

Charles Todd is an English artist well known and respected for his renderings of sleek and athletic horses. When the wife of his cousin, Donald, is found brutally murdered in her home, Donald is shattered, shocked—and a prime suspect. Suddenly, Todd finds himself involved in a dangerous man-hunt.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s narrator, Geoffrey Howard. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“Few things are more convincing than Dick Francis at full gallop.” (Chicago Tribune)
