Chris Chibnall: Death at the White Heart, Penguin, 9781405959513

Chris Chibnall is an award winning screenwriter, playwrite and producer, of Broadchurch fame. 

His debut crime novel "Death at the White Heart" shows all the signs that this too could be turned into a series. I really liked this excellent whodunnit novel, with a stellar cast of characters and a very solid plot.  All the ingredients a good crime novel should have. 

Would love to read more of DS Nicola Bridge and her sidekicks Harry and Mel who swiftly solved the murder of pub owner Jim Tiernan who was found dead and naked, tied to a chair, in the middle of a road with stag antlers on his head.
