'Broadchurch' starred David Tennant and Olivia Colman and was a runaway success for Kudos and ITV in spring 2013, with viewing figures of 9 million and a second series commissioned before the first had finished airing. The drama, set in a small Dorset town, had a captivating whodunit appeal and took an emotionally charged look at how the death of a young boy affected each of the town's residents. This novel is inspired by the first series.
