It looks like we are in for another great series.” Louise“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.” Nerys“Plenty of action in the book with some light humour.” Barbara“Probably even more atmospheric than the Hillary stories.” JaneJENNY STARLINGIn 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.JENNY STARLING MYSTERIESBook 1: THE BIRTHDAY MYSTERYBook 2: THE WINTER MYSTERYBook 3: THE RIVERBOAT MYSTERYBook 4: THE CASTLE MYSTERYMore JENNY STARLING mysteries coming soon.

THE BIRTHDAY MYSTERY an absolutely gripping whodunit full of twists (Jenny Starling Book 1) by FAITH MARTIN Review


Oh dear! I have discovered that I am not a reader of cosy mysteries! I really tried but found it rather drawn out and did a bit of speed reading so that I could actually finish the book. The reader is told many times over in the first few chapters that the main character is a large girl. This information is repeated in different ways throughout the book, as if it really is an important piece of information. I found this as insensitive as a continual reminder that someone was disabled, or blind for example. The ' large' girl is a cook described throughout the story as a 'fancy cook'. The food she cooks is 'fancy food' and the birthday cake is a 'fancy cake'. ...and so on. The author appears to be very successful so I will not be too unkind, and give this book 3 stars.

The main character shows up at all the perfect times to hear clues. She is not seen and the author uses unbelievable ways to make this happen, like having her suffer a cramp and then be unseen under a table. She heard way too many conversations while being just out of site. Even so, the reader is NOT given clues that a good mystery writer would share in order to be fair. I bought the second book when I got this one or I would not have wasted the money...Even $0.99.

This is a basic British mystery featuring cook Jenny Starling as the detective. Jenny is a traveling cook who is catering a birthday party at a large country estate when a murder happens at the party. There are the usual suspects and she works with the police to discover the killer and motive. It was originally published as written by Joyce Cato and, I believe, had a different title but has been reissued in kindle edition with Faith Martin and Birthday Mystery. It's supposed to be the first in the series, however Starling's past history as a detective is referenced. It's difficult to tell when this was written and when it's set. It feels like they tried to modernize it when it was issued on kindle, but there are no references to cell phones, internet and social media and it feels more like the 70's or 80's, although, at times because of the country house setting, it could have been the 50's. It's a fine mystery, although I prefer her other series (the Fatal ones). I won't bother with another Jenny Starling but will stick with that series.Fun Drinking Game: Take a drink (of tea of course!) every time the author describes Starling as 'Junoesque'.

As a big fan of the Hillary Greene mysteries, I was prepared to like this one by Faith Martin as well. I think I must like police procedural mysteries more than a single person acting as sleuth because I never really got into this one. We are told that the cook/caterer who is the main character is a large woman, but that was repeated needlessly throughout the entire book. She was called "the Junoesque cook" more than I wanted to hear, and I found it irritating. I don't think I will be following Miss Starling any more.

The Birthday Mystery is everything I want in a classic cozy mystery. Faith Martin proves that she has an ability to write in the tradition of Agatha Christie yet with a modern flair. Her amateur detective, Jenny Starling, is a great character I cared about and can't to find out more about. She is cook who is hired in wealthy circles, due to her culinary skills and like Miss Marple with her knitting, Jenny sometimes cooks to get her thoughts in order. I love a classic whodunit. I enjoy today's cozy mysteries, (the kind that the Hallmark Channel loves to make), because the main characters are who I want to read about again and again. However I find many cozy writers don't create a solid mystery or puzzle for the reader to solve. Sometime the amateur sleuths simple stumble on the killer who just before they can kill our hero a friend or lover saves them and the killer is caught. Or even worse, the killer seems to be chosen at random and there isn't any solid clues that lead to the solution. Faith Martin creates characters we care about but also plants some fair play clues with a solution that may not be shocking but makes sense. I thought I guessed the killer until my suspect died. Eventually I was able to guess the true culprit however I was still surprised by certain answers in the resolution of the crime. For example, a clue left at the scene of the crime had me believing it was there for one reason yet I was pleasantly surprised to see that it actually proved to be there for a different reason and one that actually pointed to the real killer in a way I didn't see. (I don't mean to be so vague but I really don't want to spoil the puzzle). I think Jenny Starling is a likable sleuths with a keen mind. Her job allows for her to be on hand at some exciting venues (kinda like how being a mystery writer helped Jessica Fletcher be on hand in some exotic places). Yes, this is a typical country-house whodunit, with all the proper mystery cliches. However it is executed in the proper way that all the good classics are. I plan to read the entire series and look forward to more of Faith Martin.
