Bound thriller « After Five Days » by Helena Falke. Five days until death and only one chance to find the truth.

On New Year’s Eve at the Harmans’ Davos family estate, a lavish feast turns into a nightmare: a poison attack kills the couple and their children. Top chef Lis Castrop, who prepared the dinner, is the only witness — and at the same time one of the victims: still alive, but poisoned.

She has five days to solve the murder.

The countdown begins to tick — and makes things clearer by the day: was Lis merely collateral damage in a deadly plan or is she more deeply entangled in the intrigues of the super-rich than she realises?
