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.
Please note this book was first published as Just Not Cricket under
Faith Martin's pen name Joyce Cato.
Jenny Starling is doing the catering for the village cricket match. But
she's not expecting one of the players to turn up dead.
Everyone from the village has turned out to watch the match, and with
this being the club's centenary, Jenny Starling has been hired specially
to provide her stunning food for the event.
Then the next man up to bat, Tristan Jones, is nowhere to be found. He
is discovered behind the pavilion, murdered by a blow to the back of the
head with an old cricket bat.
The handsome 20-something had a reputation as a Lothario, with an
appetite for married women. Did a scorned woman or a cuckolded husband
kill him?
However, he'd annoyed other people too. He was a stockbroker who took
big risks with other people's money and lost their life savings.
Soon another body turns up and Jenny Starling is going to need all her
cunning to crack this complex case.
This is the sixth 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.
