Suk Pannu, the acclaimed creator of BBC Radio 4's Mrs. Sidhu Investigates and the writer of Goodness, Gracious, Me, and five series of the Emmy Award-winning Kumars at No. 42, presents her debut cosy culinary crime thriller, Dead and Scone. Set in the picturesque village of Slough, Mrs. Sidhu, affectionately known as the unofficial Aunty to everyone, caterer, and amateur sleuth, spices up the lives of Berkshire's elite with her delectable dishes and sharp detective skills. However, 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?
Dead and Scone is a delightful blend of warmth, wicked cross-cultural observations, and a dollop of cosy crime goodness. Vaseem Khan, the bestselling author of The Malabar House series, praises the book, stating, "Stuffed with warmth and wicked, cross-cultural observations, Dead and Scone is a dollop of cosy crime goodness." Suk Pannu stands out as a writer with real depth and insight into human nature. Mrs. Sidhu, the Slough equivalent of Miss Marple, is a wonderful creation, as S.J. Bennett, the bestselling author of The Windsor Knot, remarks. "I loved it. Suk Pannu stands out as a writer with real depth and insight into human nature." J.M. Hall, the author of A Spoonful of Murder, adds, "A terrific read; a tale of dark shenanigans in a quintessential English village...I really love Suk's writing." Eoin Colfer, the author of the Artemis Fowl series, concludes, "Bake Off meets Face/Off. Devilish fun. Mrs. Sidhu bakes up a perfect whodunnit."
In conclusion, Dead and Scone is a must-read for fans of cosy crime fiction. With its captivating plot, endearing characters, and mouth-watering descriptions of food, this book will transport readers to the picturesque village of Slough and keep them eagerly turning the pages until the final, satisfying conclusion. Suk Pannu's debut novel showcases her talent as a writer and promises to delight readers with more thrilling adventures in the future.
