Laura Marlin Mysteries: Kentucky Thriller: Book 3
Lauren St John
Eleven-year-old ace detective Laura Marlin finds herself deep in the murky world of race-fixing, trickery and horse thieves in her third mystery adventure, from award-winning author Lauren St John.
Laura Marlin’s two greatest loves in life are detective novels and animals, so she is ecstatic when her uncle agrees to let her keep a horse after they rescue it, crazed with fear, from an overturned horsebox. But he has a condition. Before he will allow her to adopt it they have to find its former owner, just to ensure that it hasn’t been stolen. A visit to Newmarket to investigate the thoroughbred’s origins leads Laura to the Kentucky Derby in the US and deep into the murky world of race-fixing.
Reviews
I loved this mysterious book as it has so much suspense and robberies.I like the beginning as it jumps straight to the action rather than introducing the many characters. My favourite character is Laura as she helps to find who is robbing the horses and then gets a text message from the leader of the Straight A Gang Mr A.I would recommend this book to people who like adventure stories as it is very suspenseful.

This was a really cool adventure story and I loved Laura and Tariq's adventure. I also found it a little bit creepy. I would recommend it for other people.

Laura and Tariq are on holiday at fleet farm but soon a mystery unfolds. With help from their new friend Kit can the three of them solve it. A little bit complicated but an amazing story especially if you like horses.
