Meet Jenny Starling: travelling cook and reluctant amateur detective.

Jenny Starling has a job on a luxury paddle steamer working for a wealthy businessman. All she has to do is cook for his small number of guests. But things quickly turn sour.

Twists, turns, and food!

A goddess of food and intelligence Starling makes a terrific heroine. A fun listen i stayed up half the night to find out the finish. Narrator is strong, plot has twists, a joy of culinary experience as well. I am hooked on this series

The Riverboat Mystery

I absolutely love these mystery series and will keep on reading/listening to them all. This was an excellent story and kept you giessing until the end. Am getting so into Jenny Starling's character, she is excellent and love the cooking too. The reading is very good.

Well done!

I really hoped someone would murder the blackguard but was afraid it would turn out to be another Orient Express! That's how well each character was portrayed, especially our redoubtable freelance cook who is as capable of providing excellent meals as using her observations and acute logic. The plot is twisty and diabolical, the ride on the Thames beautiful. And it made me aware of the narrowed thinking that had me thinking that paddlewheelers only cruised the Mississippi! The publisher's blurb is pretty good, but doesn't convey the clarity of it all. I read it straight through because it made me!
I requested and received a free ebook copy from Joffe Books via NetGalley. Thank you for introducing me to this author's writing!
Two years later I was lucky to get the audio performed wonderfully by Charlotte Worthing.
