Old friends. New lies. And a murderous truth.


Jonathan and his fiancée Lotta gather their old friends for a reunion at a hidden restaurant in the countryside. Casting a shadow over the event, an empty seat commemorates Maria, who vanished five years ago. As a tribute to memory, they start a murder-mystery dinner, blurring the line between game and grim reality. Disturbing memories come to the surface and raise questions: Who is lying for their role, who is lying for themselves? As a storm brews outside, the game escalates. Is Maria still alive? Or is there a murderer at the table?

Emily Rudolf

Emily Rudolf knows her way around sophisticated psychological suspense set in fascinating locations: Her debut “The Retreat” brought her a direct breakthrough as a thriller author. In her new book, “The Dinner”, she explores the abysses lurking behind friendship and how human emotions can escalate to deadly levels. The author, born in 1998, grew up near Leipzig, published her first books alongside her studies and job and then turned her passion into a career. Emily Rudolf currently lives and writes in Nuremberg; in her free time, she likes to play mystery dinners like the protagonists of her current thriller, but with a less murderous outcome.
