Consider Big Sky by Kate Atkinson. Recommended by 2 sources.
“An atmospheric, character-focused crime novel that trades breathless plotting for slow-burn mood and domestic detail. You follow Jackson Brodie's quieter life in a North Yorkshire coastal village—fatherhood, neighborly routines—while an undercurrent of menace gradually surfaces. The book's useful part is its blend of wry voice and small-town texture: characters and setting carry the suspense more than contrived twists. Its main limitation is a leisurely pace and occasional detours into domestic minutiae that undercut momentum for readers seeking a propulsive whodunit.”
