Mrs Sidhu’s Dead and Scone

Wrote a review for

Having read an ARC of the second book in the Mrs. Sidhu series some weeks ago, I decided to circle back to its predecessor, Mrs. Sidhu's Dead and Scone. 🥯

This is cosy mystery at its best. Mrs. Sidhu is to Slough and its environs what Miss Marple was to St. Mary Mead, if Miss Marple was a widowed caterer with a grown up son who still lives at home with his mum. 🥯

Reading the books in reverse order meant that I was familiar with the main characters. 🥯

I'm not going to go into detail about the plot. Suffice to say that Mrs. Sidhu becomes involved in a murder investigation when she takes on a catering job at a wellness retreat in Berkshire. Wherever Mrs. Sidhu goes, chaos follows but, like Miss Marple, Mrs. Sidhu has excellent observation skills. 🥯

Red herrings abound, but when the final reveal comes, it all seems glaringly obvious. 🥯

I read this title on the Borrowbox app.
