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. ( )

Mrs Sidhu is an excellent caterer who has a sixth sense for crime. the bane of the local police, she is also suffering from a lack of clientele after she 'spoiled' a local society wedding to apprehend a thief. Then she is offered a job at a swish retreat for the 'burned out' executive and her sister-in-law, Daljeet the Dalek, comes to stay. Now Mrs Sidhu finds herself investigating a series of gruesome murders that may or may not be linked to a cult and realising that she really misses her husband.
I hadn't listened to the original Radio 4 series but the premise and the writer appealed so I decided to read this book in advance of the TV series. I'm glad I did as I genuinely found the book funny and cleverly done. Pannu was a writer on 'Goodness, Gracious Me', a comedy series that tapped into that uniquely British Asian sense of humour and this is in the same vein. Imagine the setting of Miss Marple and with an Indian Auntie doling out samosas rather than cups of tea and you get the idea. It's quirky and really rather wonderful! ( )
