'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

'Hannah Richell's books never disappoint, and this addictive and atmospheric crime thriller is no exception. The perfect read to get lost in this summer' KATE RIORDAN, author of HEATWAVE
