It's the most glamorous event of the year
Mrs Sidhu has snagged the contract of her life: catering the grand opening of Berkshire's new art gallery.
But there's horror among the hors d'oeuvres
Then the gallery's star painting is stolen, and Mrs Sidhu's favourite waitress is left dead on the floor.

The odds are stacked against her, but Mrs Sidhu is determined to crack the strangest case of her career and serve up her signature dish: just desserts.
