A police officer haunted by failure gets a chance at redemption with a new case in this uninspired novelization of the hit British TV drama’s first season from Kelly (The Burning Air). Det. Insp. Alec Hardy, a newcomer to the close-knit Wessex community of Broadchurch, looks into the strangulation of 11-year-old Danny Latimer. As the position he takes over had been promised to Det. Sgt. Ellie Miller, fresh off maternity leave, there’s tension from the start, exacerbated by Hardy’s brusque personal style. Broadchurch is well off the beaten path, and Ellie, a long-time local, must confront the disturbing possibility than the killer is someone everyone in town knows well. Predictable red herrings abound, even if the solution will surprise many. In the fall, the series will be rebooted as Gracepoint in the U.S., with David Tennant reprising his lead role.

The landscape of Dorset, with its cliffs, beach, and sea, is extremely important in this police procedural. When the body of 11-year-old Danny Latimer is found one morning in summer, DS Ellie Miller and recently arrived DI Alec Hardy are thrust into a murder investigation. Narrator Carolyn Pickles, who is in the popular "Broadchurch" TV series, uses a flat tone to present the facts of this well-plotted mystery. Ellie is shaken because Danny is her son's best friend, and the son of her own friend, Beth. While projecting empathy for the Latimers, Pickles dispassionately reveals the secrets and lies of the townspeople as they're unearthed. Her timing and pacing never falter as she keeps listeners glued to the story. S.C.A.
