Steeped in Murder

When travelling cook Jenny Starling is asked to cater the tea for a village cricket match, the last thing she expects is to be faced with the murder of one of the players. Tristan Jones was a bit of a ladies’ man, and the slick financier had lost a lot of people’s money, so it’s safe to say the list of suspects is a long one.

When the local police arrive on the scene, they recognize Jenny from the newspapers and ask her to help solve the case. Fielding clues and red herrings isn’t easy, especially when a second body is found. With an angry teenager, a cuckolded cricket captain and the victim’s own stepmother on the suspect list, Jenny must handle her next strokes very carefully to crack the case and find the killer. One thing is for certain, though—killing two people in such an unsportsmanlike manner is just not cricket.
