1. A Pie To Die For

When a Scottish billionaire disappears on his Highland estate, nosey Mrs Sidhu stews in her own suspicions.

The Indian Aunty from Slough gets mixed up in Highland homicide.

Mrs Sidhu is the interfering Indian chef with a taste for murder. Since her husband’s death, she has built a successful reputation as a caterer in Slough, and has snagged a billionaire client at a Scottish shooting estate. But when she is threatened by a mysterious Russian, she drags in Inspector Burton.

Supported by hotshot trainee PC Williamson, they pry into the dark corners of Castle Tannoch, its eccentric laird and his gruff niece Jane.

Meanwhile, handsome Gamekeeper Callum makes her heart skip a beat, while her wayward son Tez causes more of a heart attack with his incendiary distractions.
