Publisher's Summary
Five old friends reunite for an idyllic glamping holiday on the rugged Cornwall coast, but tensions rise when a storm leaves them stranded and someone goes missing.
Max and Annie Kingsley have left the London rat race with their twelve-year-old son to set up a glamping site in the wilds of Cornwall. Eager for a dry run ahead of their opening, they invite three old university friends and their families for a long-needed reunion and a relaxing weekend.
But the festivities soon go awry as tensions arise between the children (and subsequently their parents), explosive secrets come to light, and a sudden storm moves in, cutting them off from help as one in the group disappears.
Moving between a police investigation, a hospital room and the catastrophic weekend, The Search Party is a propulsive destination thriller about the tenuous bonds of friendship and the lengths parents will go to protect their children.
Praise for The Search Party
‘If you read just one thriller this year, make it The Search Party. I couldn’t put it down.’ Mark Brandi
‘Richell has written a standout page-turner, thoroughly gripping from start to finish.’ Anna Downes
Critic Reviews
‘Every page of this gripping and atmospheric crime novel crackles with tension ... I devoured every word of this brilliant, emotionally-charged story. A rock solid five star read!’ (Rae Cairns, author of Dying To Know)
‘You expect drama when old friends get together, but this is next level! The Search Party layers sharp observations of friendship and family dynamics over ever-increasing tension and danger. Richell adeptly delivers multiple points of view and timelines, propelling the reader through the pages, screaming the questions: who died? And who did it?' (Michelle Prak, author of The Rush)
‘Hannah Richell was born to write thrillers. Twisty and adrenaline fuelled, I devoured this whip-smart novel set against a backdrop of remote Cornish cliffs. All the ingredients I love in a thriller–jealousy, revenge, lust and anger–simmer ominously beneath the surface before coming explosively to the fore. I was in equal parts agonised and satisfied when I turned the final page. Trust me, you will not be able to put this book down!’ (Ali Lowe, author of The Running Club)

I couldn’t stop listening!
A riveting story. The descriptions were remarkable, I haven’t felt so engrossed and involved in a story before. Well written, believable, and narrators easily understood.

Some unrealistic situations and dialogue.
Hated how the narrator kept sucking in air and her reading sounded “wet” at times
