Description
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.
'The new master of the atmospheric thriller' Ali Lowe
'delivers suspense until the very end.' Books+Publishing

Carrie W, Reviewer
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.
