The gripping and brilliant debut crime novel from the universally acclaimed creator of TV series BROADCHURCH

When Detective Nicola Bridge moves back to Dorset from the big city, the last thing she expects is for the picturesque village of Fleetcombe to become a grisly crime scene.

Jim Tiernan, pub landlord, is dead, the body staged with macabre relish on an isolated country road. Nicola soon realises everyone in the village has something to hide.

The hairdresser. The delivery driver. The farmer. And even the little girl, hidden at the top of the playground slide.

Whispers. Rumours. Lies. And somewhere among them, a killer hiding in plain sight.

Because sometimes the smallest villages hide the darkest secrets...

Industry Reviews

With a confounding crime and a stellar cast of characters, Death at the White Hart is everything I love in a crime novel, with a community set-up that I hope means this will become a much-loved series - Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things

Brilliant characterisation and fabulous suspense - as unputdownable as you'd expect from the writer of Broadchurch - Jenny Colgan

A masterclass whodunnit from the creator of Broadchurch - moody, immersive, and surprising too. I didn’t dare hope it would be better than Broadchurch, but it is - Gillian McAllister

Layered, human, suspenseful and surprising - this guy knows how to tell a story, that's for sure. - Lee Child

Literally unputdownable. SO pacy and delicious, I loved the stream of new reveals, the plot kept me guessing and the excellent characterisation was my favourite bit. Just a huge treat to read - Marian Keyes

A sleek and sinister debut that grips you from the first page and doesn't let go - Celia Walden, Richard and Judy bestselling author of Payday
