Death At The White Hart

byChris Chibnall, Jessica Gunning (Read by)
The villagers of Bradcombe like to think of it as being one of the picturesque spots in the south-west. Two pubs, an old church, enough beautiful cottages to keep a thatcher in business.

And now a crime scene.

Jim Tiernan, landlord of the White Hart pub, is found murdered in the early hours of the morning. A stag's antlers tied to his head - a personal vendetta, or a hint at a macabre ritualistic killer?

Jim's pub is at the centre of the village community. He knew everyone. He knew their secrets.

Because behind the picture-perfect façade, the people of Bradcombe have a lot to hide. And now Detective Nicola Bridge is asking questions. Is she ready for what she's about to find?

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
