Publisher's Synopsis
Discover a new series of whodunits by million-selling author Faith Martin. These charming mysteries will have you scratching your head to work out who the murderer is.
Meet Jenny Starling: travelling cook and reluctant amateur detective. THIS IS A BRAND NEW, NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED FAITH MARTIN BOOK. Jenny Starling is working at The Spindlewood Inn for the weekend. It's hosting a Regency Extravaganza, involving historical costume, amateur dramatics and food. Leading actress of the amateur dramatic society and reputed man-eater Rachel Norman portrays a doomed noblewoman. But when she turns up actually drowned in the pond, there's suddenly a murder to investigate. There's been plenty of trouble at the idyllic country inn. The performers weren't a happy troupe, and Jenny discovers a simmering romantic tension. Who wanted Rachel dead and why? Jenny Starling is going to need all her wits to crack this complex case. This is the seventh in a series of enjoyable murder mysteries with a great cast of characters and baffling crimes which will keep you in suspense to the final page. Perfect for fans of classic whodunits by authors like Agatha Christie, LJ Ross, TE Kinsey, and J.R. Ellis. What readers are saying about THE COUNTRY INN MYSTERY "Lots of twists to keep you reading until the end." Judy "Highly recommended!" Anna Maria "For those who haven't read the earlier books, wherever Jenny goes, murder is sure to be on the menu!" Renee JENNY STARLINGIn her late twenties, Jenny Starling is an impressive woman. Physically, she stands at 6ft 1inch, and has shoulder-length black hair and blue eyes. Curvaceous and sexy, she's a modern single woman, living the lifestyle that suits her - that of a travelling cook. Her famous (and now very rich) father, is a 'celebrity' cook, divorced from Jenny's mother. Jenny drives a disreputable cherry-red van, and is happy travelling the country catering events and cooking great food. She is on a one-woman crusade to bring back 'real' food. And definitely doesn't like having to divert her attention from achieving the perfect Dundee cake or creating a new sauce recipe by having to solve a murder. She finds crime very distracting, especially when there is chocolate to temper or pike to poach. Nevertheless, she is very good at reading people, and with a quick and agile brain, becomes very good at unmasking killers. And her always-undaunted sense of humour goes a long way in keeping her sane when all around her people are dropping like flies. THE AUTHOR
