My second book in the Masonville Mystery Series is now available as an e-book on Amazon!
See here: To Catch a Horse Thief
To Catch a Horse Thief includes all the teenage boy characters from the first novel: Luke, Shaq, Tony and Jason. Octavia, Shaq's cousin (and the boy's high school teacher), and her father, Detective Gordon Vintara are also included.
Amy, from California, spends the summer with her cousin Luke in the Pennsylvania mountains. While bike riding in the nearby park with Luke's three friends, they discover two draft horses and a pony being kept secretly in a temporary pasture on park land. When shotgun blasts are heard, they quickly head home.

This review is from: To Catch a Horse Thief (Masonville Mystery Series Book 2) (Kindle Edition)
Although this is book two in a series, it can
easily stand on its own. The story revolves around a group of teens who
discover some horses hidden away on public lands. It isn't long before
more horses are reported stolen, a rich horse owner is found dead in
her bedroom, and a groom is attacked. The kids "assist" (without
putting them at risk) veteran detective Gordon Vintara and his rookie
trainee, Anna Swan, to put together the clues as to what's going on in
this small community. The characters are well drawn, the action is
fast, and there's a twist at the end. I especially liked the few
interspersed chapters from the stolen horses' point of view. Coming in
at about 123 pages, it is a short, fun mystery and just the ticket for
middle grade readers.
