Description
A glittering dinner party at the home of Hurley Reed and Chris Donovan begins with a jolt—an unexpected robbery that quickly draws attention to the guests’ secrets and shifting loyalties. As the evening unfolds, a murder interrupts the carefully staged conversation, and the truth emerges through a pattern of revelations that moves between the present crisis and earlier moments. With Muriel Spark’s signature sharp wit and precise social observation, the novel turns the drawing room into a stage for moral ambiguity, surveillance, and the unsettling ease with which respectability can mask danger. Part mystery, part social satire, this is a tightly constructed tale of how quickly charm can curdle into suspicion—and how the past refuses to stay buried.
