About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the multi-award winning creator of BROADCHURCH and showrunner of DOCTOR WHO, get ready for the most exciting crime fiction debut of 2025...
When Nicola Bridge moves back to Dorset after years as a CID detective in the big city, the last thing she expects is for the picturesque village of Fleetcombe to become a grisly crime scene.
Jim Tiernan, landlord of the White Hart pub, has been found dead, the body staged with macabre relish on an isolated country road. As soon as she starts asking questions, Nicola realises everyone in the village has something to hide.
Frankie, the hairdresser who isn’t a skilled enough actor to conceal they’re lying about the night of the murder.
Eddie, the delivery driver whose heart starts racing every time he drives past the crime scene.
Deakins, the embittered farmer still living in the shadow of a supposedly murderous ancestor.
And even the little girl, hidden at the top of the playground slide, who’s watching them all.
Whispers. Rumours. Lies. But Nicola knows that somewhere among them, a killer is hiding in plain sight.
Because sometimes the smallest villages hide the darkest secrets...

Not overcomplicated
Nice, safe, small town murder-mystery. Would like to hear more from the main detective in future.

A many layered puzzle
A host of characters who had a motive to be the killer, but it takes time to work out who did the deed. A satisfactory conclusion and no doubt this is the first of many outings for Nicola and Harry. The fast pace set in short chunks shows that it could appear on the small screen one day.

Good Story
Good storyline but narration was a bit monotone. Need variety. Voice made the story a bit difficult to follow.

Loved it!
I really enjoyed The White Hart – it's a great story with strong, likeable characters that kept me hooked the whole way through. The narration was well done and made it easy to get lost in the world. I really hope there's more to come in the series!

Brilliant
I was completely taken up with this story and was totally unable
to guess the outcome .
My only grumble was the continued and constant use of the ‘ F’ word 🤷♀️
Wasn’t necessary and I did balk at its inclusion.
I’d love to see the author write another stunner of a book ……minus that !

Jessica Gunning’s narration was excellent
The characters were rather flat. And of course the farmer had to be the weirdo. Made me roll my eyes. But otherwise a good ‘who dunnit’

Very Broadchurch
A good storyline and quite gripping at times. The location description was fun to imagine coming from West Dorset. Would probably buy the next one(which I am sure will be in the pipeline) to see how Nicola and Harry progress.
