Blurb
Mrs. Sidhu – unofficial Aunty to everyone, caterer, and amateur sleuth from Slough – spices up the lives of Berkshire's elite with both her mouth-watering dishes and her sharp detective skills. But when she stirs up trouble among the rich and ruthless, she finds herself an outsider in her own community.Banished to the kitchen by her boss and sentenced to an endless loop of aubergine bhajis, Mrs. Sidhu seizes the opportunity to whip up a new recipe for success – getting a job as a private chef at an exclusive celebrity rehab retreat. But when a therapist is found dead in the quiet village, Mrs Sidhu’s appetite for mystery is rekindled.
As the plot thickens, it becomes clear that the killer is picking victims through a twisted raffle at the village fete. Is a vengeful spirit returning to exact a horrifying revenge, or is there an impostor among the residents hiding a deadly secret?
My Opinion
Mrs Sidhu’s ‘Dead and Scone’ by Suk Pannu is a medium paced cozy crime mystery. The story unfolds with our main character's introduction and after a few pages the mystery of murder begins. The plot takes its time to develop which was a little bit slow for me. My interest started developing after reaching halfway through the book. Mrs. Sidhu's character is a next door neighbor with a knack of mystery. The story goes on and off with small tips and tricks. I would say it is worth a one time read.
The climax was good and satisfying. The tertiary characters were well defined and supported the plot well. I would like to give the book 4 stars. Thanks to Netgalley and Random Things Tours for providing me with an opportunity to be a part of the blog tour.
