<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>This remarkable adaptation of the hit television show <i>Broadchurch</i> from Erin Kelly (based on Chris Chibnall series) tells the story of a shattered family, a reeling town, and the two imperfect detectives trying to bring them answers. </b> <p/>In the sleepy British seaside town of Broadchurch, Detective Ellie Miller has just returned from vacation, only to learn that she's been passed over for a promotion at work in favor of outsider Alec Hardy. He, escaping the spectacular failure of his last case, is having trouble finding his way into this tight-knit community wary of new faces. But professional rivalry aside, both detectives are about to receive some terrible news: 11-year-old Danny Latimer has been found murdered on the beach. <p/>For Ellie it's a personal blow; Danny was her older son's best friend. She can't believe anyone in Broadchurch would ever have harmed him. But Alec considers everyone, even Danny's parents, suspect in his death. It's a living nightmare for everyone involved...even before the press arrive and start stirring up the secrets every town member keeps hidden behind closed doors.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Kelly folds a loving portrait of rural Dorset and a well-made whodunit into a painstaking account of the grief and unimaginable pain that follow in the wake of one child's murder." --<i>Kirkus (starred review)</i> <p/>"[Supplies] fashionable existential dread while also providing a solid, Agatha Christie- or Dorothy Sayers-like mystery plot that proceeds at a deliberate pace through a cloud of plausible suspects with a minimum of confusion...Superior entertainment." --<i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"A gripping portrait of small-town paranoia." --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/>"Striking...When mysteries work as effectively as this one, they offer a safe outlet for our gnawing rage to understand--that detective's compulsion to cajole the truth out of the civilized world, no matter what gets destroyed." --<i>The New Yorker</i> <p/>"Beautiful...what's great about <i>Broadchurch</i> is not that, in the end, it lets you know everything. It's that it makes you feel everything." --<i>Time</i> <p/>"Striking." --<i>Variety</i> <p/>"Exceptionally striking...[<i>Broadchurch</i>] will break your heart and keep you guessing all the way through." --<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"It's not just that <i>Broadchurch</i> demonstrates that it is possible to reinvigorate...the hunt-for-a-killer genre with solid, engaging craftsmanship--though it does--but that unlike so many in the genre it is inordinately emotionally generous." --<i>Slate</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>ERIN KELLY is the author of several critically acclaimed psychological thrillers, and also works as a freelance journalist, writing for newspapers including <i>The Sunday Times</i>, <i>The Sunday Telegraph</i> and the <i>Daily Mail </i>as well as magazines including <i>Red</i>, <i>Psychologies</i>, <i>Marie Claire</i> and <i>Elle</i>.
