I really wanted to like this a lot more than I did - it sounded just like something I'd love. I'm not sure exactly where it fell over in the execution, for me, and wondered if perhaps I needed to have already known Mrs Sidhu from the radio shows perhaps?
It does have all the elements for a cosy crime- a village fete, a suspicious murder, a mental health and wellbeing retreat venue all in a village with a gruesome murder in the past! But I took a long time to get any kind of feel for Mrs Sidhu and even by the end I wasn't quite sure who she was, how old she was, or how I felt about her.
Aspects of the story did tickle me - when she sets up an emergency office in her toilet, for example, to escape her sister in law!
But I think I just wanted a little bit more all round...a bit more character, and a bit more humour, and a bit more to Mrs Sidhu.
