Dead Cert by Dick Francis.
His first novel. Very good detective story set in the world of English horse racing.
Nerve by Dick Francis.
Enjoyed the first so much that I immediately read his second novel. Also very good indeed.
Walking the Nile by Levison Wood.
Travelogue about the author's 4000+ mile walk along the entire length of the Nile. Very interesting.
For Kicks by Dick Francis.
Another horse-racing mystery. Excellent.
Gently By the Shore by Alan Hunter.
The second book in the "Inspector George Gently" series. Enjoyable murder mystery involving secret societies and revenge killings in an English seaside town.
Vicious Circle by Wilbur Smith.
The second book in the "Hector Cross" series (who must surely be one of the most unfortunate men around - his nearest and dearest have a regrettable habit of being murdered!). Enjoyable but violent thriller, as one expects from Wilbur Smith.

A new Audible UK account is finally enabling some of these early Dick Francis books for me. Quite enjoyable. And the associated UK Amazon account for the early eBooks that aren't available in North America.
