One Dark Night

the spine-tingling thriller from the Richard and Judy book club author of The Search Party

He murdered her at the folly on their wedding day, left her body for the crows. They say she haunts the woods now, a girl in a white dress … A tense, clever and claustrophobic thriller where no one is who they seem and the danger lies just out of sight.

A party at sunset. A body at sunrise.
What happened that night in the woods?

'Utterly gripping . I couldn't put it down!' SARAH PEARSE, author of THE SANATORIUM
‘Immersive and twisty .  Highly recommended’ SARAH VAUGHAN, author of ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL

BEN

'ONE DARK NIGHT is a superior crime thriller, with beautifully real characters and a wonderfully atmospheric setting. I read the closing chapters with my heart in my mouth, as the twists kept on coming. Compassionate and immersive, it's the perfect follow-up to THE SEARCH PARTY. I loved it' EMYLIA HALL, author of THE SHELL HOUSE DETECTIVE MYSTERIES series

‘Hannah Richell has totally established herself as master of the twisty thriller. I couldn’t put ONE DARK NIGHT down. It’s completely gripping from start to finish, with so much to enjoy - the heart-in-the-mouth twists, the pacy plot, the brilliantly drawn characters and the brilliant sense of place. The perfect (dark) summer read’ HARRIET EVANS, author of THE TREASURES
 
'Thrilling and page-turning' SALLY HEPWORTH, author of DARLING GIRLS
