How would you explain “ripe-looking” in the context? Strike was examining a photograph of a stocky, balding man in a suit and a very ripe-looking redhead in tight jeans. The besuited man was Mr. Geoffrey Hook; the redhead, however, bore no resemblance to Mrs. Hook, who, prior to Bristow’s arrival in his office, had been Strike’s only client. Strike stuck the photograph into Mrs. Hook’s file and labeled it No. 12, while Robin turned back to the computer. How would you explain “ripe-looking” in “a very ripe-looking redhead in tight jeans”? Thanks!

The phrase "ripe-looking" suggests "like fruit ready to eat". I'd assume the lady was young and buxom. Go Rowling.

A woman with curves. Ripe can also mean mature so probably not a young girl, 30s-40s maybe.
