The Lies of the Other Night

A devilish “wedding thriller”: the heroine, guest at her best friend’s wedding, has only one night to enjoy her reunion with her friends – because then the groom is found murdered, and she needs to prove her innocence … Over the last ten years, Mimi has nearly forgotten her university friend Nina – but then she gets a wedding invitation. She travels to Bonn, where she is received with unexpected joy by her old group of friends. After the poolside bachelorette party, she feels like she never left their little clique. But on the morning of the wedding, the groom is poisoned, and so is the harmony. Are the memories that Mimi shares with the others really genuine? The solution seems have something to do with that night by the pool, but Mimi can’t properly remember a crucial detail. Slowly, she arrives at a terrible suspicion: has she been invited to the wedding only to be framed for a murder?
