It's the most glamorous event of the year
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 creme de la creme.
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?
An exceptional cosy crime mystery from Suk Pannu, creator of BBC Radio 4's Mrs Sidhu Investigates
For fans of Janice Hallett (The Christmas Appeal), M. C. Beaton (Agatha Raisin and the Dead Ringer), Alexandra Benedict (The Christmas Jigsaw Murders), Ann Cleeves (Silent Voices), and Hannah Hendy (A Frightfully Fatal Affair).
