One of the problems I had with the later Dick Francis books (and I don't recall when this started) was that they were so Americanized. I assume they were edited for American readers, not that he wrote them that way, but I missed the British flavor. There were lots more but: parking lot, flashlight, elevator, and, the most egregious change from the earlier books, head groom. I sorely missed those head lads.
