 Liz Moore's The God of the Woods

I almost put this down a couple times in frustration and actually had to get up and finish it instead of going to bed, because I needed to know what would happen and if it was going to piss me off! But actually, it ended up being pretty satisfying. It’s about a wealthy girl who goes missing from her summer camp, which is on her family property—and where her older brother went missing 14 years earlier. Lots of POVs—her self-medicating and checked-out mother, her camp counselor, her camp friend, and a young woman police investigator. I was very worried this would end up being a story about rich assholes literally getting away with murder (and the locals they crushed along the way) but it ended up being a different story entirely.
