About this listen

‘Thrilling and page-turning!’ Sally Hepworth

One night in the woods
A party gone wrong
A body discovered at sunrise

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 …

Everyone in the small town of Thorncombe knows the tales of the haunted woods where the birds don’t sing and a girl in a white dress roams, luring people to their deaths. But when a girl in white is found dead the morning after Halloween, her body carefully arranged at the bottom of an old stone folly, the community is thrown into turmoil.

With a teenage daughter of his own, police detective Ben Chase knows how high the stakes are. Was the girl the victim of a party prank gone wrong, or does her death represent something more sinister and ritualistic?

As the investigation unfolds and the noose tightens around Chase’s own family, the only thing anyone can be sure of is that no one is safe until this violent killer is caught.

A tense, clever and claustrophobic thriller where no one is who they seem and the danger lies just out of sight.

Critic Reviews

'Dark and twisty small-town noir at its very best—I couldn't look away!' (Pip Drysdale)
‘Evocative and haunting, One Dark Night delves into the complexities of human nature and relationships. This gothic thriller had me on edge through its clever twists and turns, and kept me reading late into the night to the spine-chilling climax.’ (Petronella McGovern)
‘A sublime mystery with a meticulously-crafted ending that I didn’t see coming.’ (Michelle Prak)
‘Hannah Richell is the new master of the atmospheric thriller. This story is a fast-burn that will have you suspecting every single character, before Richell delivers a satisfying “ta-da” moment with twist upon twist. An eery, suspenseful read with a cast of characters you’ll both love and hate, and an ending that will leave your jaw on the floor!’ (Ali Lowe)
‘This compulsive, eerie and suspenseful thriller kept me reading well into the night! Richell is the master of absorbing, atmospheric tales with complex characters who stay with you long after you turn the final page, and One Dark Night is her best yet!’ (Rae Cairns)
‘a gripping, tangled web of mystery and intrigue from the opening paragraph to its thrilling conclusion.'
