From the multi-award-winning writer of Broadchurch and Doctor Who, comes a dark, propulsive crime debut from a true master of suspense.

A masterclass whodunnit’ Gillian McAllister
Everything I love in a crime novel’ Jennie Godfrey
As unputdownable as you’d expect from the writer of Broadchurch’ Jenny Colgan


The body is found abandoned on the A35 in Dorset –
tied to a chair, stag antlers on his head.

It’s Jim Tiernan, landlord of Fleetcombe’s The White Hart pub –
and now a murder victim.

Newly arrived DS Nicola Bridge has her work cut out.
Fleetcombe is a picture-postcard village.
Murder is the last thing on anyone’s mind.

Except that here Nicola finds whispers, rumours, resentments and lie after lie.

Because the smaller the village, the darker its hidden secrets . . .

More praise for Death at The White Hart:

‘Layered, human, suspenseful and surprising – this guy knows how to tell a story, that’s for sure’ Lee Child

‘I loved it. A murder mystery that feels like it’s set right now, packed with vivid characters and a detective I adored – and I didn’t guess who did it. A wonderful book’ Russell T Davies

‘Snappy dialogue, confident. Turns expectations of village life on their head”’ Joan Smith, Sunday Times

‘Literally unputdownable. SO pacy and delicious…Just a huge treat to read’ Marian Keyes
