The perfect village.

Mrs Sidhu, caterer and amateur sleuth, is delighted when she is offered a position as chef in a quiet corner of Berkshire. It’s a far cry from her cramped kitchen, where she was used to making an endless parade of aubergine bhajis!

The perfect fete.

In no time, Mrs Sidhu starts throwing herself into local events like the summer fete. But amongst the bunting, cakes and funfair games, a killer is lurking.

The perfect crime.

Mrs Sidhu soon discovers the unthinkable. A murderer is picking victims through the fairground raffle. Who is next on their list? And can Mrs Sidhu stop them in time?

Recensioni della critica

‘Suk Pannu’s first foray into the world of crime fiction, by way of Dead and Scone, features irrepressible caterer and purveyor of aubergine bhaji, Mrs Sidhu. When murder rears its head among the celebrity set of rural Berkshire, the formidable Mrs Sidhu decides to set aside her apron and hurl herself into a private investigation. Stuffed with warmth and wicked, cross-cultural observations, Dead and Scone is a dollop of cosy crime goodness’ Vaseem Khan

‘I loved it. Suk Pannu stands out as a writer with real depth and insight into human nature. Mrs Sidhu – Slough's answer to Miss Marple – is a wonderful creation. Her 'aloneness' was very moving, and the clues she used to solve the crime were masterful.’ S.J. Bennett, author of The Windsor Knot

‘A terrific read; a tale of dark shenanigans in a quintessential English village…I really love Suk’s writing; the gossipy way he manages to get to the soul of everyone and everything, making observations that either have me smiling or wincing in recognition or both! He claims that Indian Aunties make the perfect detectives, and again Mrs Siddu proves him right!’ J.M. Hall, author of A Spoonful of Murder

‘Bake Off meets Face/Off. Devilish fun. Mrs Sidhu bakes up a perfect whodunnit’ Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl series

'Pannu's writing is hilarious, and Mrs Sidhu's adventures brilliantly combine mirth with mystery' Antony Johnston, author of the Dog Sitter Detective series

‘Red herrings and plot twists abound, but it’s the charming Mrs Sidhu who is the real attraction’ Mail on Sunday

‘A lighthearted and fun cosy crime caper’ Observer

‘An Asian spin on the traditional home-counties cosy, this is perfect for fans of Richard Osman’ Guardian

‘A splendid debut novel with a unique descriptive voice’ Shots magazine

‘Delicious fun’ Crime Monthly magazine

‘Cosy crime fans will love this charming new voice…A warm, amusing and well-observed tale’ Platinum

‘A sheer delight’ My Weekly
