Meet Jenny Starling: travelling cook and reluctant amateur sleuth.

Jenny Starling is working at picturesque Spindlewood Inn in the Cotswolds for the weekend. It’s hosting a Regency Extravaganza, involving historical costume, amateur dramatics and food.
A recipe for murder?

Leading actress 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? Has Jenny Starling bitten off more than she can chew this time?

This delightful cozy mystery series is perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, LJ Ross, Richard Osman, the Rev Richard Coles, Janice Hallett, Fiona Leitch and Veronica Heley.

MEET THE AMATEUR SLEUTH
In 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 mission to bring back ‘real’ food. She finds crime very distracting, especially when there is chocolate to temper or pike to poach. Nevertheless, she is adept 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.
