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 I've ever read.

A brilliant and moving literary feast to be enjoyed without any moderation! *****'I'm 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.

It's almost like you're 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..' *****
