Hannah Hendy

Hannah Hendy writes from a quiet town in South Wales, sharing the house with her wife, their daughter and two badly spoiled cats. She is a chef by trade and started writing in the gaps between kitchen shifts, then moved to cosy crime full time. Her Dinner Lady Detectives series, published by Canelo Crime, follows Margery and Clementine, two women serving school meals in the invented town of Dewstow, into cases the police are content to leave alone. The first book opens with their kitchen manager found dead in the walk-in freezer. A Terrible Village Poisoning, third in the run, sends the pair on holiday to St Martins-on-the-Water.
