Breaking Convention Mrs. Sidhu's knack for crime solving is put to the test again when she and Tez cater for the convention of hit fantasy TV show, Swordmaster, written and created by the Melville family. But when life imitates art and one of the lead cast is found dead in the woods, killed the same way another character was murdered in the show's previous seasons, things go from fantasy to reality very quickly. When Mrs. Sidhu is asked to stay on and cook for the Melville's while they grieve, she can't help but find suspicious clues. Much to his dismay, Mrs. Sidhu is reunited with Chief Inspector Burton. His theories of who the killer is don't match up with hers, and his reluctance to hear her out leaves her no choice but to start her own investigation and prove him wrong. |
