The List of Suspicious Things, Jennie’s debut novel, became a Sunday Times No.1 bestseller and drew praise for its vivid voice and emotional depth. The book is set in 1970s West Yorkshire and explores childhood, fear, and community against the backdrop of the Yorkshire Ripper murders.
Jennie is a former corporate leader turned full-time writer and part-time bookseller. She was raised in West Yorkshire in a mill-working family and nurtured a lifelong love of reading that later inspired her fiction. After a successful 25-year corporate career she left in 2020 to pursue writing and creative study, including a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Bristol.
