The Birthday Mystery

Meet Jenny Starling: travelling cook and reluctant amateur sleuth.

Jenny Starling is catering the twenty-first birthday party of upper-class twins, Alicia and Justin.

Jenny arrives at their parents' stunning country house and is immediately met by the police. A young man has drowned in the pond. Was it an accident . . . or murder?

But the birthday party must go ahead. Just after midnight, everyone gathers for a champagne toast - and one of the guests falls down dead. Everyone at the party becomes a suspect - and the police are completely baffled.

When someone adds an extra ingredient of poison to Jenny's precious recipes, she will stop at nothing to find the culprit.

Jenny Starling must unmask a ruthless killer before more party guests die.
