'I couldn't stop reading it . . . a classic of true crime' - Lissa Evans, author of Small Bomb at Dimperley

'A fascinating true crime case study . . . deeply moving' The Times

A gripping, explosive murder mystery by acclaimed true crime writer Susannah Stapleton.

In April 1929, the body of British artist Olive Branson was found submerged in a water tank outside her farmhouse in a picturesque Provence village. Dressed only in a pink shirt and stockings, she had a bullet hole between her eyes and a revolver by her side.

Was it suicide – or murder?

The initial investigation concluded suicide, but under pressure from Olive’s family to conduct a murder enquiry, city detective Alexandre Guibbal was brought in to reopen the case.

Examining never-before-seen evidence, acclaimed true crime writer Susannah Stapleton builds a vivid and absorbing picture of an unconventional life and a violent death, and an investigation that shines a bright light on a village simmering with resentments and dangerous rivalries . . .

Recensioni della critica

That Dark Spring is brilliantly structured and perfectly paced, and I couldn't stop reading it. Susannah Stapleton writes with beautiful clarity and has produced a classic of true crime. (Lissa Evans, author of Old Baggage and Small Bomb at Dimperley)
Stapleton is a masterly storyteller. She brings a vanished world to life (Judith Flanders, author of The Invention of Murder)
A gruesome but richly fulfilling thriller
'A fascinating true crime case study . . . A ghost story, a tale of folk long-dead, a portraitof a vanished world'
