In the Frame by Dick Francis

Finished on 30 Nov.

I occasionally miss the point of Francis's titles (not as bad as Grafton's, but she had her gimmick to stick to) - this was not one of them.

Our hero arrives at his brother's house for a visit and finds a police investigation into his brother's wife's murder - for which his brother is "in the frame" as the prime suspect. And it all turns on an elaborate scam involving some paintings - which were also framed, I believe. Besides all that, the hero is a painter. A painter of portraits of race horses, which provides the Francis racing connection. All good fun - plus a trip to Australia.
