Cornwall, 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 ..

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 all-time favorite author ... A first-rate 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..*****
