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 twenty-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 lifesavings.

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 final page.

Perfect for fans of classic whodunits by authors like Agatha Christie, LJ Ross, TE Kinsey, and J.R. Ellis.

What readers are saying about THE TEATIME MYSTERY

“Another great read.” Nerys

“Enjoyable well-written mystery.” Susan

JENNY STARLING
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 crusade to bring back ‘real’ food. And definitely doesn’t like having to divert her attention from achieving the perfect Dundee cake or creating a new sauce recipe by having to solve a murder. She finds crime very distracting, especially when there is chocolate to temper or pike to poach. Nevertheless, she is very good 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.

FAITH MARTIN is the best-selling author of the DETECTIVE HILLARY GREENE mysteries, which have sold over 1 million copies globally in just over a year.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 July 2019

Verified Purchase

I really used to enjoy the Hillary Greene detective series and I thought I'd give the new series a try. I'm really sad to say that it has been a complete let down. I've tried to read 6 books in the series , just to give it a fair shot however it simply doesn't come up to the same standard as the Hillary Greene books. There is no actual detective work in these books. It's all about her figuring out ridiculous murder plot mysteries out of THIN AIR, while treating everyone that doesn't get it from her cryptic lines, like absolute idiots.

Stretching the bounds of credulity.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 July 2019

Verified Purchase

I enjoy Faith Martin's writing and loved her Hillary Greene books but have become increasingly irritated by the Jenny Starling books, as I find the idea that senior police officers would allow a member of the public (and one that could also be a suspect) to sit in on police interviews and have access to the scene of the crime is ludicrous. Whilst we know that authors stretch the truth to make their books more interesting this is now spoiling my enjoyment of the books, so sadly will not bother with any more but await the next Loveday and Ryder book.

Jenny meets her match!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2021

Oh, not in detecting the murderer or anything minor like that…two ‘inexplicable’ murders solved before night falls on a village cricket match - but in the end she walks away unhappy - you’ll have to read until the end to find out why! Great little mystery book - I see that a lot of people have failed to take to Jenny - well, I like her and I’m glad to see her back. Long may she be a thorn in policemen’s hides! Looking forward to the next.

Jenny is employed as cook for a centenary cricket match. The twists and turns in the double murder leave one to wonder right to the end who actually committed the murders . Was it the teenager, grou dsman who himself was murdered later, the cricket captain, the ztock roker or some other person who looked as if they had a good alibi for both murders.

This time I didn't guess the answer

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2021

Another great story following the career of the super cook and reluctant amateur detective Jenny Starling. This time I didn't guess the killer before their identity was revealed but when all was explained I found it a bit hard to swallow (pun intended). Only one book left in the series now, a pity there are not more.

Not gripping or full of twists

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2019

Verified Purchase

I waded to the end of this without enthusiasm. I didn't care who did it. They were all stereotypical rich businessmen and silly wives. The writer clearly knows nothing about cricket so why set a novel at a cricket match?. The cook is a quite unbelievable character and her relationship with the police ridiculous. I wont be reading any more from this author.

Well that was different and all solved quicker than most cricket matches are won, enjoy these books, very easy reading. Sometimes the culprit is obvious but it's finding out the why and how that draws me up to the end.
