Broadchurch shorts from L,B

Little, Brown imprint Sphere will publish a series of digital short stories tying in to each episode of ITV drama series "Broadchurch".

Each e-book, written by crime writer Erin Kelly in collaboration with "Broadchurch" creator Chris Chibnall, will be released at midnight following the broadcast of each episode. The 99p stories will consist of new material, tied into the episode, following the characters and delving deeper into their lives.

"Broadchurch" first aired in March 2013. Set in a small, coastal town, the BAFTA-winning series followed the murder of a young boy and a hunt for his killer, led by detectives played by David Tennant and Olivia Colman. A second series finished filming in October this year, and will begin airing in January.

Kelly wrote a novelisation of "Broadchurch", which was published by Sphere in August this year.
