This summer holiday vintage crime classic exploring the mystery of a buried Cornish hotel invites us to solve the puzzle as detectives: perfect for fans of Celia Fremlins Uncle Paul, Agatha Christie, or Richard Osman ...I am loving it! Nigella LawsonHilarious and perceptive ... Perfect. Daily MailEntertaining, beautifully written, and profound. Tracy ChevalierTense, touching, human, dire, and funny ... A feast indeed. Elizabeth BowenKennedy is not only a romantic but an anarchist. Anita BrooknerOh boy, what a treat; wonderfully sharp and funny ... Pageturningly good! Lissa EvansSo full of pleasure that you could be forgiven for not seeing how clever it is. Cathy RentzenbrinkCornwall, Midsummer 1947. Pendizack Manor Hotel is buried in the rubble of a collapsed cliff. Seven guests have perished, but is it murder, and what brought this strange assembly together for a moonlit feast before this Act of God or Man? Over the week before the landslide, we meet the hotel guests in all their eccentric glory: and as friendships form and romances blossom, sins are revealed, and the cliff cracks widen ..Reader Reviews:One of the best books I have ever read ... Viva Ms. Kennedy, you were truly marvellous! *****The best book Ive ever read. Yes, I know thats a big statement! Kennedy is quickly becoming my alltime favorite author ... A firstrate literary genius. *****This is bar none, one of the best books I have ever read. *****Offers us the chance to solve a very unusual kind of mystery ... An unexpectedly engaging literary game. ****A magnificent rediscovery ... Kennedys masterpiece is a searing and unflinching look at postwar England ... Elegantly and tartly written, this smart and haunting novel offers one of the most unforgettable endings ... A brilliant and moving literary feast to be enjoyed without any moderation! *****Im longing to read this again! Clever Kennedy! Is it a thriller? Is it a morality play or an exploration of divine justice? Or is it a family/village saga and maybe even a romance? ... Terrifically readable with a marvellous cast. *****Such a good idea, and brilliantly executed ... I was unable to stop reading, absorbed completely in the company of the motley group. Its almost like youre eavesdropping on them. After finishing it, I find myself still thinking about it ... A fabulous read. *****One of my favorite kinds of books: a forgotten treasure.. *****
