COMP CLOSED: WIN ‘What Happened that Night’ by Nicci French

This week, we’re giving away three copies of What Happened that Night by Nicci French. What Happened that Night is a tense, psychological thriller where loyalty breaks under pressure. After nearly 30 years behind bars for his friend’s murder, Tyler Green is finally released – only to gather the circle of friends who were with him the night the crime occurred. When one of them turns up dead again, suspicion and past secrets swirl, and investigator Maud O'Connor must untangle truth from lies before history repeats itself. You can also meet Nicci on episode 529 of our podcast. Here’s the blurb:

The new psychological thriller from the bestselling author of Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter? and the Freida Klein series.

After nearly thirty years in prison for the murder of his university friend Leo Bauer, Tyler Green is finally free. Meeting up with the group of friends who were there the night that Leo died, Tyler is looking to reconnect – but he’s also looking for answers.
