The Dead Bride by an anonymous author is a detective mystery novel about a missing, young bride and a young man whose very sanity is put to the test. Excerpt: "The summer was superb. Never in the memory of man had there been so many people in Bad Nauheim, but though the public rooms were always full, nowhere was there any gaiety. The nobility kept apart, the military people mingled only with themselves, and the bourgeoisie despised both of them."
