Peter GrimsdaleRecensioner

A very good synopsis and story of the early part of the Bentley motor companies life.

This is also a biography of the famous “Bentley boys“ who won five Grand Prix in a row whilst in France. They were very impressive. They were larger than life characters who were very driven, enthusiastic, and resilient. The tragedy of the story is really the lack of recognition that was given to WO Bentley.

Worthwhile reading if you have an interest in old cars, Bentleys, or British derring-do.

Bit hard going in places.

Post-war British sports & Racing cars - manufacturers, development, drivers.

Actually interesting and quite stressful. That anaesthetist is one loose cannon.

Finally finished. Good, really excellent, but cancelled.

My Thoughts
A conspiracy thriller that is full of twists and turns. The storyline had me guessing until the very end. A brilliant debut novel that has me wanting to read more by this author.
