«Das Fest» is the mystery novel by Margaret Kennedy, published by Schoeffling + Co. in hardback (426 pages, in German).
In the summer of 1947, a landslide buries the Pendizack Hotel in Cornwall; only the guests at a beach party survive. The novel goes back to the previous week: the ruined Pendizack family turns their mansion into a hotel and receives guests with secrets. Friendships, romances and grudges lead to the fatal celebration.
Originally published as «The Feast», the 2023 German edition features a translation by Mirjam Madlung.
For those who enjoy classic mystery, social satire and coastal settings; reviews compare it to Agatha Christie and Jane Austen.
