They came for an escape, but can they escape a killer? Detective Nicola Bridge returns in another gripping and immersive mystery

For its loyal guests, Parkwood Holiday Village in west Dorset is a haven: woodland walks, a tranquil lake, service around the clock.

Until, just after midsummer, a body is found floating in the swimming pool.

Detective Nicola Bridge, exhausted by worries about her troubled teenage son, faces a resort full of suspects: a husband lying about his whereabouts, a high ropes instructor hiding unexplained scars, and a polished new manager with a dangerous secret.

With hundreds of guests and staff on site, Nicola must race to uncover a web of lies before the killer disappears.

Or strikes again...

Praise for The Parkwood Murders

A brilliant whodunnit with real depth and characters I truly care about. This series gets better and better.

Jennie Godfrey

Fast becoming one of my favourite crime series - wildly gripping and entertaining

Marian Keyes

Simply world class. Glorious, clever, sharp and moving

Russell T Davies

With distinctive supporting characters, brilliant pacing, and a deliciously complex plot that never loses its footing, this proves that Chibnall’s just as good on the page as he is on-screen. It’s a home run.
