Two years later I was lucky to get the audio performed wonderfully by Charlotte Worthing. Traveling cook Jenny Starling is onto her next job. This time she will be working on a luxury boat. With just a few guests and a rather short assignment, this should be one of Jenny’s easier assignments. However, when she discovers a dead body aboard the boat, Jenny realizes that her skills as an amateur sleuth are greatly needed. What another delightful cozy mystery. Just as in the previous books in this series, the suspect pool is quite small, so she quickly gets to work. This is rather easy to do, because she has earned a reputation with the police and they actually welcome her assistance. As we read this engaging story by Faith Martin, it is delightful to see Jenny’s powers of deduction. As always, there is a unique assortment of characters, any one of whom who could have both motive and means to have committed the murder. This was a quick read, with just the right amount of twists and turns to capture my interest throughout. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of the books in this series thus far. The next book in the series is The Castle Mystery.

Appartiene alle SerieJenny Starling (3)
When Jenny Starling, the travelling cook with a penchant for trouble, accepts an assignment to cook for a wealthy businessman on his luxurious river-boat, the fabulous Stillwater Sam, she sees nothing but plain sailing ahead. The River Thames is especially lovely in summer, the limited number of guests a doddle to cook for, and even her employer’s parrot has taken a fancy to her. All looks set for a peaceful and happy few days. So when someone is murdered, Jenny finds herself once again in the thick of things. And since anyone aboard could be the murderer, she’d better keep her wits about her and her sharp knives handy! Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
