Mrs Sidhu’s Just Desserts cover
Synopsis:

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?


Review:

Mrs Sidnu is desperate for a vacation, but with a catering offer that is too good to be true, she can't say no, and her dream vacation is off the books again. When her trial goes well, she ready for the big job. Unfortunately things go awry the night of her unbelievable catering dream. With a personal stake solving the murder, she and the police are working on different avenues to find the killer and the thief who may not be the same. This is a fun entry into the series. My only quibble is the ending, I feel like Mrs S should have had a happier ending to demise of her wished for vacation..
