The Dinner by Anna Davis
The polished chitter-chatter of a sophisticated dinner party is disrupted by the unexpected appearance of the host s bizarre sister-in-law. Clarrie is always been a bit strange, but tonight she is frankly unbalanced. She 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.
