The Parkwood Murders

A Novel

By: Chris Chibnall

The gripping new mystery from the bestselling author of Death at the White Hart

For its many repeat customers, Parkwood Holiday Village is a haven – idyllic woodland, a tranquil lake, customer service on tap around the clock.

For Detective Nicola Bridge, it’s a crime scene.

When a body is discovered early one morning in the park’s wave pool, Nicola is faced with an investigation like no other: hundreds of suspects, but seemingly no witnesses.

As she digs into the reality that lies behind Parkwood’s serene façade, she meets the exhausted staff whose hard work keeps the guests happy. It soon turns out that they are her best sources – after all, who pays attention to what they let slip in front of the lifeguards, cleaners and babysitters that make a holiday seamless?

But when a shocking discovery links the murder to an unsolved disappearance at the park from five years before, Nicola realises that this might not be a one-off crime of passion.

There’s a killer lurking somewhere in these woods…
