One Dark Night by Hannah Richell

 

One Dark Night by Hannah Richell

 

Summary:

When a body is found the day after Halloween, a small British community must reckon with its past and the dangers lurking in its present in this spine-tingling novel from “not to be missed” (Hayley Scrivener, author of Dirt Creek) author Hannah Richell.

On Halloween, a group of teenage students meet in the woods near Sally in the Wood, a road steeped in local lore and rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a murdered girl. By the end of the night, one student will be dead.

Rachel, the school guidance counselor, is trying to keep a handle on her increasingly distant teenaged daughter, Ellie, while students and parents panic and mourn. Her ex-husband and detective Ben, dealing with a personal crisis of his own, has concerns about his daughter’s safety as he investigates the death. Meanwhile, Ellie is keeping secrets from both her parents, including one about where she was that night.

 

Review:  5-Star

Wow, wow wow, what a page-turner this story is. From the first page to the last page, you're so engaged you don’t want to put the book down for any reason for fear of missing something.  From the summary it sounded like it would be a fun read, but it was so much more than I’d expected.

I found nothing wrong with the editing, the flow, the character development, everything that goes into making a story great, this one has it. I can’t say enough about this story.

 

Conclusion:

Would I buy this book for a friend?   YES

Would I read more books written by this Author?  YES

Would I recommend this book to others?  YES
