What to expect
In this twisting and richly sauced mystery, will the proof be in the pudding?
'Perfect for fans of Richard Osman' Guardian
'Slough's answer to Miss Marple’ S.J. Bennett
'A dollop of cosy crime goodness' Vaseem Khan
It's the most glamorous event of the year
When Mrs Sidhu is hired as the caterer for the opening of Berkshire’s swankiest new art gallery, she can't believe her luck.
It's the biggest pay cheque of her career, a glitzy evening, and a chance to take her cooking to the next level in front of the local crème de la crème.
But there's trouble on the menu
Then the gallery's star painting is stolen. And worse than that, Mrs Sidhu's best and sweetest waitress – with her whole life ahead of her – is found dead.
Mrs Sidhu wants answers. As she casts her eye over Berkshire's art scene – the murderously competitive collectors, critics and creatives – she uncovers a dastardly knot of greed and deception, obsession and revenge.
Can she crack the strangest case of her career and unmask the murderer, so they can meet their just desserts?
An exceptional cosy crime mystery from Suk Pannu, creator of BBC Radio 4’s Mrs Sidhu Investigates
Critics Review
‘Stuffed with warmth and wicked, cross-cultural observations, Dead and Scone is a dollop of cosy crime goodness’ Vaseem Khan, author of the Unexpected Inheritance
n‘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
n‘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
n‘Bake Off meets Face/Off. Devilish fun. Mrs Sidhu bakes up a perfect whodunnit’ Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl series
n‘Red herrings and plot twists abound, but it’s the charming Mrs Sidhu who is the real attraction’ Mail on Sunday
n‘A lighthearted and fun cosy crime caper’ Observer
n‘An Asian spin on the traditional home-counties cosy, this is perfect for fans of Richard Osman’ Guardian
n‘Suk Pannu has given us a splendid debut novel with a unique descriptive voice, the characters are believable. Mrs. Sidhu is here to stay. I look forward to reading more of her adventures’ Shots magazine
n‘Cosy crime fans will love this charming new voice…A warm, amusing and well-observed tale’ Platinum
n‘A sheer delight’ My Weekly
