Beschreibung des Verlags
When Amaya is invited to Kaavi's over-the-top wedding in Sri Lanka, Amaya is surprised and a little hurt to hear from her former best-friend after so many years of radio silence. But when Amaya learns that the groom is her very own ex-boyfriend, she is consumed by a single thought: she must stop the wedding from happening, no matter the cost.
But Amaya might not be the only one with a plan to keep the bride from getting her happily ever after. When Kaavi goes missing and is presumed dead, the evidence points towards Amaya.
Caught between excessive Sri Lankan wedding celebrations, old wounds and dark secrets, will Amaya be able to prove she's being framed for a murder she's almost positive she didn't commit?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Thriller Award winner Jayatissa follows her debut, My Sweet Girl, with a twisty thriller set among the wealthiest circles of Sri Lanka. Amaya Bloom, a near-friendless young Sri Lankan woman living in Los Angeles, torments herself by cutting her skin, having masochistic sex with a man she barely knows, and watching her beautiful, affluent ex-best friend, Kaavi Fonseka, rise to influencer status on Instagram. When Amaya receives an invitation to Kaavi's wedding, where she will marry Amaya's handsome, successful ex-boyfriend, Amaya is determined to stop it at any cost. Amaya flies to Sri Lanka with plans to obtain an untraceable gun. However, on the night before the ceremony, Kaavi vanishes, and interviews with the wedding guests unearth an abundance of motives and suspects, culminating in a harrowing, unforeseeable ending. While the perpetrators are powerfully drawn and the social and political tensions in Sri Lanka sensitively suggested, some readers may feel frustrated by Amaya's coy and often misleading hints about her past and her sudden shift late in the story to psychological health and benevolence. Ruth Ware fans will want to check this out.
