THE MURDER OF A STABLE LASS IS CAUGHT ON VIDEO. STRAIGHT-FORWARD THEN? FOR GRANT AND BAINBRIDGE, IT JUST GOT COMPLICATED...
A York tourist happens on a young apprentice jockey in the process of being murdered on the bankside path of the River Ouse. It's too late to save the girl, so instead the tourist gets his camera out and videos the scene... complete with the murderer, finishing the deed, knife in hand, and covered in blood.
Holly Grant and Eugene Bainbridge (who publish their investigative journalism as 'Grant Bainbridge') are bereft of work. It's been months since they got a decent job. However, an unexpected caller to their office-cum-home in Northallerton turns out to be the latest internet sensation - for all the wrong reasons - the man standing in Holly's mother's dining room is the murderer in the York case. Now known as 'The Good Morning Girl Murder', Holly and Bain are given information that leads to the dead girl's former racehorse training yard in Malton. With the help of Holly's mother, Ronnie, and The Widow Solanki, it soon transpires that The Graham Dent racing yard is full of fraud, lies, and revenge. But who is responsible for the murder, and what possible reason could they have for killing such a likeable young woman?
'Shaken Up' is the tenth racing novel by Richard Laws, and the second in the series featuring Grant and Bainbridge. Richard is the author of Amazon number-one bestsellers in the horse racing category including, 'The Syndicate Manager', 'Gimcrack', 'Causing Interference', and 'Cheat'.
PRAISE FOR RACING THRILLERS BY RICHARD LAWS
- Great story with many twists & turns. Well written, pacey with a strong cast of characters.
- The sort of book John Francombe & Dick Francis wished they had succeeded in writing. Such a very, very clever plot and engaging characters that one can identify with...
- A good fast-paced story, the villains were totally impossible to guess from earlier in the book. I read a lot of crime thrillers including racing ones by the likes of Dick and Felix Francis, John Francome etc. This was as good as any of those.
- An affirmed longstanding Dick Francis reader I am converting to Laws with each and every publication.
- Totally captivating stories which you can't put down until you get to the sting in the tail.
Genre: Mystery
