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. <br> <br><b>THE AUTHOR</b> <br>FAITH MARTIN is the best-selling author of the <b>DETECTIVE HILLARY GREENE mysteries</b>, which have sold over 1 million copies globally in just over a year. <br> <br><b>JENNY STARLING MYSTERIES</b> <br>Book 1: THE BIRTHDAY MYSTERY <br>Book 2: THE WINTER MYSTERY <br>Book 3: THE RIVERBOAT MYSTERY <br>Book 4: THE C
