Mrs Sidhu’s ‘Death Warmed Up‪’‬

Something smells like murder…

'Perfect for fans of Richard Osman' Guardian

'Slough's answer to Miss Marple’ S.J. Bennett

'A dollop of cosy crime goodness' Vaseem Khan

Mrs Sidhu, caterer, aunty and part-time sleuth, arrives at the spooky, crumbling mansion of Pinegrove to provide meals on wheels to the elderly residents.

In a place like this, death raises no eyebrows. But when one old man dies in unusual circumstances, Mrs Sidhu gets a funny tingle up her spine.

As she delves deeper, Mrs Sidhu unravels a sinister web of cover-ups, hidden identities and forgotten tragedies. And soon, she smells more than boiled cabbage and disinfectant. She’s convinced this is murder.

An exceptional cosy crime mystery from Suk Pannu, creator of BBC Radio 4’s Mrs Sidhu Investigates
