A Day at the Races: A British Victorian Cozy Mystery (The Mysteries of Stickleback Hollow #22) by C. S. Woolley
Unrated

Under the excitement of the turf flying there is deadly intent. When power and money are on the line, the stakes can’t get any higher

Lady Sarah has never been to the races before, and her first trip takes her to Cheltenham Racecourse. But when she arrives, it is clear that not all is well in the parade ring. With a missing jockey and an owner’s entire future hanging in the balance, the clever noblewoman cannot sit idly by.

When the jockey turns up dead and accusations start to fly, a stewards enquiry is deemed to be insufficient. But if no races are run, it means the end for more than one owner and trainer. Lady Sarah must track down the killer before the police can arrive and save the day once more.

Can she survive her first day at the race or will the stakes prove to high for her?

If you like thrilling mysteries, exciting sub plots and eccentric characters, you’ll love C. S. Woolley’s enthralling Mysteries of Stickleback Hollow.

C. S. Woolley

C.S. Woolley (Caroline Sarah Woolley) was born in Macclesfield, Cheshire and raised in the nearby town of Wilmslow. From an early age she discovered she had a flair and passion for writing. This was fuelled by winning local poetry and short story competitions during her years at Mottram St. Andrews Primary School.

During high school, she continued to write and found her time split between acting, writing and her studies. At 14 she began writing novels. University did nothing to change her love of writing. C.S. spent a year reading Law at Manchester Metropolitan University before changing her mind and moving to read English at Hull University. After graduating she moved to Nottingham where she stayed for the cricket at Trent Bridge. She now lives in New Zealand with her partner, Matt, and their two cats.
