''ONE DARK NIGHT is a superior crime thriller, with beautifully real characters and a wonderfully atmospheric setting.

‘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.
