The Dinner

ABOUT
THE BOOK

The polished chitter-chatter of a sophisticated dinner party is disrupted by the unexpected appearance of the host’s bizarre sister-in-law. Clarrie has always been a ‘bit strange’, but tonight she is, frankly, unbalanced, and is suffering from obscure hallucinations. Clarrie has a reason for descending uninvited on Alex and Tilda Stone, and is waiting for the right moment to reveal it. And Clarrie is not the only person at the table with a secret. All the guests have something to hide, and Clarrie’s unsettling behaviour over the pink trout and tropical fruit bavarois might just be enough to push a few secrets out into the open.
