Gail  JENNY STARLING In 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  shes 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 Jennys 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 doesnt 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.
