Summary
The debut cosy culinary crime thriller from Suk Pannu, creator of BBC Radio 4’s Mrs Sidhu Investigates and writer for Goodness, Gracious, Me and five series of the Emmy Award winning Kumars at No. 42
Mrs. Sidhu – unofficial Aunty to everyone, caterer, and amateur sleuth from Slough – spices up the lives of Berkshire's elite with both her mouth-watering dishes and her sharp detective skills. But 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?

Enjoyed this
I really enjoyed listening to this; it’s a twisty plot with good characterisation. Very satisfying

Enjoyable
Stupidly had expected Meera Syall to narrate so was a little taken aback to start with. Story sort of went on a little too long, also lost me a little bit in the middle. Maya Saroya ok (once I got over my initial surprise) but having been initiated on the Radio 4 stories, have to say she is no Meera Syall.

Disappointing
Having loved the radio program, I was really looking forward to this book. The narration was dull and did not bring the characters to life so completely spoilt it for me. . The story was interesting but due to narration, lacked charm and the subtle humour was lost.
