Dead Man's Cove (Laura Marlin Mysteries 1): Book 1

Product Information

Ring of Bright Water was later made into an outstanding film starring Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers.

The next day Laura gets captured by a member of the Straight A gang and ends up being sent to Dead Man's Cove. If you are on your way up to the Cape Disappointment lighthouse, then if you have the time to take the side trail to this cove then you really should.The slope of his shoulders and knots of muscles in his forearm as he gripped the creatures collar, spoke of an immense power, carefully restrained.

Dead Mans Cove can be seen from the trail that leads from the parking lot to the Cape Disapointment lighthouse. From the author of the much-loved White Giraffe series comes an exciting four-part adventure series featuring Laura Marlin, an 11 year old ace detective. It’s all quite sudden, and the criminals don’t fall into the Romantic or cosy crime categories - it’s a bit grim and deals with modern issues. It's gripping, hugely entertaining and has something special about it - I just can't put my finger on it. Luckily, her uncle Calvin knows she's responsible and gives Laura the space to explore, although he's not so sure that she should be rushing to pick her career so quickly.

With stunning depictions of the craggy Cornish coastline and a completely compelling plot this is the perfect book to curl up with this winter. At 17, she spent a year in the UK working as a veterinary nurse before becoming a sports and music journalist. It’s been really fun and playful to take part in the Marlin mysteries marathon this month especially as I have been able to indulge in my creative side in making a new section of my casebook including playing with aqua brushes in my dotted journal casebook and lots of washi tape purchases (don’t tell the elf).
