Mrs Sidhu Investigates

On the Ropes

Shortly after Mrs Sidhu becomes the in-house caterer for a software company, the CEO is found strangled at his desk on the same night he signed a deal to sell the business; Mrs Sidhu works with a begrudgingly appreciative Burton to crack the case.

Killer App

At a fan convention for a TV show, an actor is killed in the same way a character was murdered on the fantasy series; as caterer for the ill-fated event, Mrs Sidhu spots some clues while cooking for the grieving family, but Burton has other theories.

Breaking Convention

Mrs Sidhu's first day catering for a high-end health club takes a morbid turn when two dead bodies are found in the spa; after her niece becomes the prime suspect, Mrs Sidhu starts her own investigation, bringing her into conflict with DCI Burton.
