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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faith Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51410978111657,"sku":"9781789315417","price":7.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9781789315417.jpg?v=1792293317","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/the-teatime-mystery-an-absolutely-gripping-whodunit-full-of-twists-jenny-starling","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
