The Parkwood Murders - Chris Chibnall

She read
A dead body is found at Parkwood Holiday Village, a self-contained resort in the woods. It is up to Detective Nicola Bridge and her team to investigate. Money for resources is tight, police staffing is slim, time is a pressure as the guests want to leave, and there is no shortage of suspects. The case becomes more complicated when it is discovered that the body of a young woman disappeared from the resort five years ago.
With an intriguing plot, this is an engrossing, fast-paced, entertaining read. A solid character-based police procedural, there are twists, turns, and red herrings. Secrets and lies among the suspects will keep the reader guessing as to the culprit.
I like Nicola, a capable individual dealing with personal issues while doing her best at her job. I also like Harry, her younger, less experienced partner who proves to be adept and the very quirky Mel.
Written by the creator of Broadchurch, this is only the second in the series. It can be read as a standalone.
Thanks to @NetGalley and @Vikingbooks for the DRC.
