London, 1935. On a windy October night, artist Felicia Adams disturbs an unusual burglar, intent on stealing from her kitchen pantry. He seems vaguely familiar to her, but before the police can investigate the quiet suburb of Green Hill is shaken by another, more vicious crime. Felicia’s neighbour and eminent Harley Street physician Dr Langley lies murdered, poisoned whilst hosting a dinner party for his closest friends and family. This is a case for Scotland Yard, and so it falls to Detective Inspector John Graydon to unravel the mystery. But in discovering what secrets may lie beneath the respectability of suburbia, the Inspector starts to wonder what his own past may hold. Is it always better to know, or are some stones best left unturned?
Sarah Woodthorpe is lifelong fan of whodunnits and golden age detective stories, who rekindled her love of writing as an adult. She began by writing short plays and comedies, but her combined love of puzzles, classic mysteries and storytelling made detective fiction the natural next step – and what better era to write about than the golden age she knew and loved? On a Dark Evening is her first novel.


On a Dark Evening will be available soon in paperback and eBook formats from Amazon.
