Jenny Starling is a cook and she has been hired by Alicia Greer to cater for her and her twin brother Justin’s 21st birthday party. Before she arrived the police had been called as a body had been found in a pond in the grounds - Jimmy Speight was the assistant gardener and it looks like he’s hit his head and drowned. During the party Justin dies and Alicia is taken ill - their champagne has been poisoned. Initially Jenny is a suspect but the police soon realise that she can be very useful to their investigation.

I’m a huge fan of Faith Martin’s Hillary Greene series and I have a feeling I’m going to get just as hooked on the Jenny Starling series. Reminded me of an Agatha Christie story - I could just picture the tv version while I was reading.

Thanks to Joffe Books and Faith Martin for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review.
