'I often promised myself late at night that I'd definitely stop reading at the end of the chapter, only to find I was completely unable to do so!' Reader review

One dinner table. An unlikely group of guests. A recipe for disaster?

Lucy's infamous dinner parties were always the talk of the town, but after her husband's death, they've become few and far between. When she gets engaged to her new fiancé, Mike, she decides what better way to introduce him to her friends than by reinstating their supper club.
But a lot has changed in the last six years.
Lucy's best friend, Maggie, must face sitting at the dinner table with her husband's new model girlfriend in tow.
Now a mother, so much of Chrissie's life revolves around changing nappies and mindless baby TV that she worries if she'll still be good company.
The only single one of the group, Jenny is not interested in finding a man and wishes her older sister would stop trying to set her up with the handsome new neighbour.
Perhaps Lucy has bitten off more than she can chew with these dinner parties, but what's a little wine among old friends anyway?

A hilariously entertaining and engaging read that is perfect for fans of Fiona Gibson, Carmen Reid and Tracy Bloom.

      Secret affairs, marriage problems, difficult children and shattered dreams are not typical polite dinner party conversation topics, but in British author King's delicious new page-turner, no subject is too taboo or intimate for discussion among old friends gathered for a monthly dinner. King (Second Time Lucky
      ) introduces four female characters as different as the recipes they choose. Lucy Summers is recently widowed; Patsy Jones stole a married man; Jenny Macdonald wants to find someone; and Chrissie Richards's marriage is falling apart. Their secrets unfold as the meals progress from August's “Lamb baked with apricot and prunes” to February's “Prawns in lime and ginger” (recipes not included). At times the suspense is marred by predictability and unresolved plot elements, but the characters are sympathetic, and readers will cheer them to the last course.
