'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
‘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
'Thrilling and page-turning' Sally Hepworth
'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

‘Dark and twisty small-town noir at its very best—I couldn't look away!’ Pip Drysdale
‘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
Richell has created a compelling new raft of authentic characters who not only face heart-pounding danger, but very relatable societal issues. I adored DS Ben Chase and school counsellor Rachel Dean. Wouldn’t mind seeing them in future crime reads!’ Michelle Prak
‘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
