If you're a fan of the Famous Five and Nancy Drew, you will NOT want to miss out on reading the books in this award-winning cosy mystery series, perfect for all readers aged 7+, by the brilliant author behind the The White Giraffe series!

Laura Marlin is our amateur sleuth in question, an orphan girl who moves away from a children's home to live with her uncle in Cornwall. She thinks a quiet, even boring, life awaits, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. The adventures and excitement she so longs for are right around the corner, and together with her trusty companion, Skye, a three-legged husky, the dog she's always wanted, Laura will have to use all her wit, nerve and courage to solve mysteries. 

From figuring out the connection between the mysterious Dead Man's Cove and a strange message in a bottle in tiny Cornwall, to travelling around the world facing pirates, sharks, criminal masterminds, trickery,  horse thieves and even LETHAL games, Laura Marlin will solve any mystery that crosses her path, 

And along the way, she will also find a true best friend, Tariq, who will help her and Skye on their mission to solve crime. Are you ready to travel to Russia, the Caribbean, Kentucky and even Australia with the wonderful characters in these books? 

Lauren St. John is the award-winning author of The White Giraffe series, and a master in cosy crime including animal friendships.
