'Utterly gripping ... I couldn't put it down!' SARAH PEARSE, author of THE SANATORIUM '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, 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 'Immersive and twisty, One Dark Night has a brilliantly realised sense of place and fully realised characters, with Rachel and Ellie’s mother/daughter relationship particularly convincing and well done. More than merely a well-written and propulsive thriller, One Dark Night is a poignant exploration of grief, and a chilling exploration of the unkindness teenage girls can inflict on each other.  Highly recommended' SARAH VAUGHAN, author of LITTLE DISASTERS
