Özet

Discover a new series of whodunits by million-selling author Faith Martin. You'll be gripped from the first second to the last. These classic-style mysteries will have you scratching your head to work out who the murderer is, and look out for some real twists and turns.

Meet Jenny Starling: travelling cook and reluctant amateur detective.

Jenny Starling is catering the 21st birthday party of upper-class twins Alicia and Justin.

She arrives at their parents' country house and is immediately met by the police. A young man has drowned in the pond. Was it an accident or murder?

But the birthday party goes ahead. Then, just after midnight, everyone gathers for a champagne toast...and one of the guests falls down dead. The police are baffled, and there is a whole party full of suspects.

When it comes to someone adding the extra ingredient of poison to her own precious recipes, Jenny isn't going to take it lying down. She has a reputation to protect.

Jenny Starling won't stop until the murderer is found.

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

Please note this book was first published as Birthdays Can Be Murder under Faith Martin’s pen name, Joyce Cato.

Disappointing....... the narrator did a good job but the story was weak with a silly motive and outcome I was expecting better

Hmmmmm

Perfectly acceptable murder mystery read well. The statuesque Miss Starling wasn't a character that I particularly took to, but she was a sound enough character in a slightly hard to believe plot that appeared to be set in the present and yet was more suited to the 1930's. The detective content was particularly colourless. Having said that it really was a reasonable enough listen and as I am rather desperate for new detective series at the moment good enough that I will probably download book 2.

Acceptable if not spellbinding

A gentle story featuring a new character from Faith Martin; Jenny Starling, caterer and amateur detective. Not as interesting as her Hilary Green stories, with less action and only one main character, but a harmless read that leads you through the kitchen rather than round the maze as it draws to it's conclusion - which I had surmised well before the end.
I won't listen to anymore in the series, but don't let me put you off, I just prefer much more action and intrigue.

OK

A brilliant well crafted, suspenseful mystery. There are many potential suspects. The story develops excellently. It is very good.

Excellent

I liked the story and the performance. I would have bought more of these books, but the constant mention of the weight and size of the main character was incredibly irritating. It wasn't only repetitive, but insulting towards anyone bigger than a size 12. It was trying to be body positive (I think) but was patronising and reduced an interesting female character to her dress size

Obsessed with weight of lead
