Summary

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.

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 very end.

Perfect for fans of classic whodunits by authors like Agatha Christie, LJ Ross, TE Kinsey and J. R. Ellis.

A Brilliant story

I thought the story was brilliant and the person who read this had a lively clear voice

Began well but became tedious. Gave up.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was English rather than American. The narrator had a clear, clipped voice. I am not sure that she pronounced the Welshman 's name correctly but she read well. The scene setting was satisfactory but it seemed an age before anything happened. I kept expecting some kind of culinary mishap, but nothing. Eventually, there was a death. This was then followed by an overlong introspection by the main character. At this point I gave up.

Good, but narrator flat line

Story well written, but narrator needs a bit energy. Only listen to it when I wanted fall asleep.

Beautifully plotted and written

A good story nicely read. So many twists and turns and suggestions that you just have to keep listening.

Nice but bland

A pleasant but undemanding listen, suitable for background listening while doing something else. The main character is likeable but not entirely believable and the plot was just about interesting enough to hold the listeners attention and the conclusion was acceptable but it pushed the bounds of credibility.

A great listen with wonderful characters

In this book you really feel that you get to know each of the chapters, and all their little foibles. I picked most of them as the murderer at one time or the other, but the reveal was still a big surprise. Very well written and brilliantly narrated.

How was this even published?

Ridiculously bad. Was this written by a 5th-grader pretending to be an adult and dreaming of solving crimes for the powerless and clueless police? I can't believe how horrifyingly poorly written this was.
