The sensational, critically acclaimed thriller by the author of Blacklands- the 2010 Crime Novel of the Year

FROM THE CRIME WRITER LONGLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2018

It is freezing mid-winter on Exmoor, and in a close-knit community where no stranger goes unnoticed, a local woman has been found murdered in her bed. This is local policeman Jonas Holly's first murder investigation. But he is distracted by anonymous letters, accusing him of failing to do his job.

Taunted by the killer and sidelined by his abrasive senior detective, Jonas has no choice but to strike out alone on a terrifying hunt . . . but who is hunting who?

Reviews for Darkside: From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Snap

An extraordinary piece of writing... * Sunday Times (Culture) * Bauer has shifted the boundaries of what makes a truly gripping, terrifying thriller * Daily Mirror * Bauer takes astonishing risks but - like a brilliant ski-jumper - arcs down to the perfect landing * Independent * She can do tragic brilliantly and she can do grim, but every now and then humour breaks into the tale - and she does that almost best of all * Guardian * I would press this one on anyone who loves Kate Atkinson, Bauer really is that good -- ALICE O'KEEFFE * Bookseller *
