Book description
When Jenny Starling, the travelling cook with a penchant for
trouble, accepts an assignment to cook for a wealthy businessman on
his luxurious river-boat, the fabulous Stillwater Sam, she sees
nothing but plain sailing ahead. The River Thames is especially lovely
in summer, the limited number of guests a doddle to cook for, and even
her employer's parrot has taken a fancy to her. All looks set for a
peaceful and happy few days. So when someone is murdered, Jenny finds
herself once again in the thick of things. And since anyone aboard
could be the murderer, she'd better keep her wits about her Â- and her
sharp knives handy!
Joyce Cato was born in Oxford and went on to work as a secretary
before becoming a full-time writer. This is the third book based on
Jenny Starling, the first two, Birthdays Can Be Murder and A Fatal Fall
of Snow were also published by Robert Hale.
