I loved this book, which is a mystery/crime novel, much like the work of Agatha Christie, but with a modern twist.. A 90 year old woman called Peggy is murdered and is found by her carer Natalka. DS Harbinder Kaur investigates the murder and along with Peggy's friends Edwin and Benedict and carer Natalka, they have an adventurous time tracking down the killer. This is a fantastic book and I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed this book and couldn’t put it down. An unlikely trio of people meet when their lives cross paths over the death of Peggy Smith. A police woman gets involved too and all 4 of them join forces to try and solve a series of murders. Their mission takes them to Aberdeen and they risk their lives to find out the truth. I can’t quite work out if this is a cosy murder mystery or a relaxed thriller. There are lots of twists and turns and the characters are built up really well. The reader really gets to know them and I was a bit sad when it ended. Highly recommended from a great author

Ninety year old Peggy enjoyed people watching, she even made notes of those she saw from the window of her seaside retirement home. When she is found dead Natalka (her carer) does not believe that it was from natural causes. Peggy's neighbour & friend Edwin & Benedict, the local coffee house owner agree with her. Whilst clearing out Peggy's flat they are threatened by a man with a gun. Detective Harbinder Kaur becomes involved. Peggy's friends discover that she was 'a murder consultant' & help many authors come up with innovative ways to kill. As Harbinder doesn't seem to be taking their ideas too seriously the trio set off for Aberdeen to a book fair for crime writers. This was a terrific fun read. The zany characters & their adventures puts this into the 'cosy' mystery category. Having a gay Sikh as a central detective character makes a change- I can't help liking her in spite of her faults. I really enjoyed this book & am already looking forward to the next in the series. Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.

Although I have read the first book to include DS Kaur this is very different. All her series of books are very distinct from each other. Have to admit being a bit of a Ruth Galloway fan but enjoyed all of them nonetheless

After reading Stranger Diaries and a number of Dr Ruth Galloway novels I was interested to see how this novel would read. Of course it was wonderful, I liked that feeling of familiarity with one of the main characters, DS Kaur. Definitely worth a read, you won't be disappointed!!!
