What do you do when the wedding of your dreams turns into a nightmare?

What do you do when the wedding of your dreams turns into a nightmare?

When Lizzie calls off her wedding in the south of France only a week before the big day, not even her closest friends know why. But since the chateau is already paid for, they figure it's the perfect place to take Lizzie's her mind off her suddenly single state.

But when the group arrives, the wedding is waiting for them - food, flowers, and all.

The next day, Lizzie wakes to find her friends have drunkenly revelled in the wedding-that-wasn't - but not all their antics were benign. Someone is set on tormenting Lizzie, and she can't think who.

The more the friends try to piece together exactly what happened that night, the more secrets start to come out . . .

Critics Review

A thriller for people who hate thrillers: tightly plotted, smartly drawn characters, captivating story with a satisfying twist at the end. Delicious
Pandora Sykes
An intricate and surprising story of friendship, revenge and redemption where no-one and nothing are quite as they seem . . . The Wedding Night places female friendships at the centre of both the story and the lives of its characters, who are so real you feel you know them. Harriet's writing is beautiful and immersive, and bristles with wry observation
Charlotte Philby
A fantastically compelling portrait of female friendship and toxic relationships, as well as a tense, atmospheric thriller
