From the multi-award winning creator of BROADCHURCH and showrunner of DOCTOR WHO, and narrated by Golden Globe Award winning BABY REINDEER star Jessica Gunning. 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...

Layered, human, suspenseful and surprising - this guy knows how to tell a story, that's for sure.
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)
A craftily plotted mystery, full of memorable characters. A fine start to a highly promising new series (John Williams)
A strong pace, good characterisation and an excellent sense of place get this projected series off to a flying start (Laura Wilson)
A promising start to a crime career – old ideas with a fresh spin, and a great ending (Geoffrey Wansell)
A disturbing murder, a village with a gruesome past and a new detective determined to uncover the truth. With Death at the White Hart, Chris Chibnall distils his talent for blockbusting screen drama into a deliciously gritty and well-written police procedural. A searing debut crime fans will love! (Janice Hallett)
Literally unputdownable. SO pacy and delicious, I loved the stream of new reveals, the plot kept me guessing and the excellent characterisation was my favourite bit. Just a huge treat to read (Marian Keyes)
Fans of Broadchurch are going to LOVE Death at the White Hart! With its compelling pair of detectives and tense, creepy atmosphere, once you start reading, I defy you to stop. (Shari Lapena)
A masterclass whodunnit from the creator of Broadchurch - moody, immersive, and surprising too. I didn’t dare hope it would be better than Broadchurch, but it is (Gillian McAllister)

This was my first audible by Chris Chibnall. Unfortunately it failed to capture my interest although I listened to it for a lot of hours before giving up.The reason being , I did not find the plot intriguing or exciting. The narrator was good.The location was interesting.The characters were amusing.So I think all in all, it seemed to be for me that the actual storyline didn't draw me in as my other choices of audibles usually do.A shame because I was willing to give it a try.

Slow pace.

I’m afraid this was a DNF. Narrator was totally wrong and uninspiring. Tried to get into it but sadly couldn’t and in the end didn’t care who’d done it.

Very involved slow moving plot

Chris Chibnall is creator of Broadchurch, the TV whodunnit which was first screened back in 2013. It’s clear listening to Death at the White Hart, which has many similarities with Broadchurch in terms of plot, setting and structure, that it won’t be long before it’s adapted into a TV series. And that turns out to be correct - it will be in production for ITV next year (2026). It’s a relatively straightforward, uncluttered whodunnit set in a small Dorset town. The set-up couldn’t be simpler: a local publican (who runs the White Hart pub) is horrifically murdered. The list of suspects is long. There’s a generous helping of red herrings. Detective Nicola Bridge takes on the case. She’s a formidable sleuth who cut her teeth in Liverpool. Predictably, she has a troubled home life, as the demands of policing have put pressure on her marriage. The story is pacy and well-narrated. The twist took a bit of swallowing, but it seemed to hang together well, and it should work well on the small screen. The writing is a little pedestrian, with some nice lines. It wouldn’t be hard to envisage Nicola Bridge and her young sidekick Harry (nicknamed Westlife
for his boyish good looks) returning for another adventure, whether in a novel or on TV, or both.
