The Country Inn Mystery
I am a fan of the Mystery series by Faith Martin and loved this one too. The murder was good and love the way Jenny Starling solves them with the Detective. The cooking is always interesting too. The narration is excellent.

Got it on sale!
Impossible for me to do an unbiased review on a Jenny Starling book! Each is excellent and easily stands alone. Traveling cook Jenny Starling agreed to take over for her friend who is going on a two week vacation. The job is at a lovely Inn in the Cotswolds which is hosting a production by a troupe of amateur thespians. Easy to figure out who the victim will be, but the plot takes some interesting twists and tosses in not a few red herrings. Another fun read! I requested and received a free ebook copy from Joffe Books via NetGalley. Thank you! That was June, 2019. Now it's late December 2020 and I got it on sale! Charlotte Worthing is very good as narrator!

Although I like these stories I must admit the narration is diabolical Charlotte Worthing’s accent comes across as a well educated young lady. It’s a shame she never learned to speak her own language correctly. Her mispronunciations grate on the ear and spoil the story Maugan
