Some books are deliciously chilling, wonderfully written and tell a brilliant story. “One dark night” is one of these stories, and manages to pull you in to the story and feed your fears about Sally in the woods, and guesses at who may have been behind the death of a young school girl.

A party goes badly wrong out in the woods near the follow one Halloween night. This was such perfect timing because I began reading on Halloween so had all the additional spooky vibes going on to capture my imagination. There is so much behind what takes place at the party, that it will take lots of twists and turns to reveal the truth.

At times tense, at times complicated by all the different relationships going on, and yet at all times enjoyable. It was great to be back in a story that had both a school setting, a police procedural element, a therapy environment and offered so much more. This story felt like it was just meant to be, for me … very much a comfort read. I am looking forward to now reading more by Hannah Richell. Thanks to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster Australia for this advanced reader copy in exchange for my review, and thanks to Hannah for this wonderful book.
