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.

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.

This, for me, has been the weakest entry in the series with the mystery solution being very silly. Still Jenny Starling is a wonderful protagonist and I look forward to the next adventure.

“Caught LBW” and “caught run out”! The author is clearly not a cricketer, she should have had this thing proof read by one.
These stories are amusing, but so full of “dog whistles” to appeal to overweight women who think they’re cleverer than they are. Describing a policeman as “a very clever man” when he finally picks up on a clue that’s been screaming at the reader for the last five minutes. The very large Jenny Starling repeatedly being described as unexpectedly sexy to men. Gets a bit wearing after a while - could be done with a bit more subtlety.

Full of silly errors, but narrated well.
