Review
Lauren St John interweaves so much ecological detail into her books and I have to say, for me, the 'Laura Marlin Mysteries' are amongst my favourite of her books. It's so often the case that adventures and mysteries become so plot led, and fast-paced that characterisation can suffer. This is definitely not the case in these books and the central relationship between Laura and Skye is very touching and evokes childhood incredibly well. (Jake Hope )
The setting and the conservation theme may be utterly modern, but what we have here is, in essence, a good old-fashioned adventure story where villains are thoroughly bad and the heroes ensure they get their come-uppance after a series of breath-taking adventures and near-misses. A thoroughly good read (THE BOOKBAG )
An old fashioned adventure entirely without magic, the supernatural or parallel universes. And Laura's dog doesn't talk. How rare that now is (Nicolette Jones THE SUNDAY TIMES )
Written in brief, fast-paced chapters, most of which end with a cliff hanger, this book lends itself to reading aloud to upper Junior school pupils. It would also provide exciting independent reading for any 8-11 year olds who enjoy detective novels or who are concerned about the oceans' endangered marine species. Laura Marlin fans who loved Dead Man's Cove and who have eagerly awaited the sequel will not be disappointed (BOOKS FOR KEEPS )
A really enjoyable book...great for confident younger readers. It has just the right amount of action, friendship and danger to make it a compelling and exciting read (Liz De Jager MY FAVOURITE BOOKS )
'Lauren's books are brilliant ¿ I¿m always dying to know happens next. They are thrilling and told in such detail. I would highly recommend this book and all the others Lauren has written in the Laura Marlin Mysteries and White Giraffe series¿ (The Sun Clemmie Clements, Aged 9 )
This story has a timeless classic feel whilst at the same time not shying away from contemporary subject matter. Children will love and treasure these books as the series progresses (Lynda Waterhouse AWFULLY BIG BLOG ADVENTURE )
The Enid Blyton of our age... (Amanda Craig THE TIMES )
A classic adventure (CHICKLISH )
another cracking adventure ... a page-turner with plenty of action and twists to keep young readers engaged. (TELEGRAPH.CO.UK )
a fact paced, lively romp (SCHOOL LIBRARIAN )

This is the second Laura Marlin book.
( The first is called Dead Man's Cove (Laura Marlin Mysteries 1))
Laura is an orphan and in the first book is taken in by her mysterious,but kind, uncle.
She is a detective and when she grows up wants to do this as her job.
In this book she has won a holiday to the Caribbean BUT maybe that is too good to be true.
As with the first book this is an excellent adventure.
She must battle a secret gang, save her uncle and fight for her life. Along the way she also makes an unexpected friend.
This is a great series,the first book won the Blue Peter prize, and I think all children from 8 upwards will enjoy it.
Laura is brave and has had a difficult life but teaches us about friendship and honour. Two great qualities in anyone young or old.
Its also good that she is a girl who is tough and clever.
A great series.... GET READING THEM....

This book is a must have! It is soooo... gripping and makes you want to read more! This is the second book in the Laura Marlin series and it really has a good story, which is continued from the fist book - Dead Man's Cove. You can picture the whole story with the description and with every story there is a message for animal conservation. Everyone should read the series so far!
Amazing!!!
