Three
tight-knit friends embark on an extravagant divorce trip to the Maldives where
they can unwind and celebrate a new chapter in midlife—until they realize the
resort of their dreams is harboring a killer.
Best friends Darcy, Camilla, and Kate escape for a post-divorce retreat in the
Maldives, the perfect place to relax, reset, and embrace a fresh start in life.
Darcy is learning how to be a free woman at forty-two. Camilla has found the
perfect calling as a fitness and wellness influencer with a devoted following.
And Kate is finally working on the book she was meant to write after years of
telling other people’s stories.
Their dream getaway? The exclusive and isolated Sapphire Island Resort. With luxurious
private villas, crystal-clear waters, and sun-drenched white sand beaches,
relaxation is guaranteed. But this is no ordinary friendship, and they’re not
the only guests on the island with secrets. Who left the body on the beach—and
who’s next?
A propulsive and deliciously dark tale about female friendship, loyalty, and
lies, Bad Tourists is a white-hot thriller from the first page to its
mind-blowing finish.

– ☆☆☆☆
Darcy takes her friends Camilla and Kate to the Maldives to celebrate her
divorce. The tropical paradise of the Maldives is a great location for a thriller,
but the story actually starts in the past with a brutal but intriguing crime
that happened the day before 9/11. I knew once I was a few pages in that I was
going to love this book and I was right.
Bad Tourists is told not only from the point of view of the three women
but also from other characters, including Darcy’s 12-year-old son and a young
woman the ladies befriend who is on her honeymoon. You’d think a story in such
a lovely location would mean good times but there is danger, secrets, and
violence set against the backdrop of a natural paradise. There was never a dull
moment. Something was always happening.
I loved the way the story was told, both in the past and the present and from
multiple points of view. It kept me guessing as the story twisted and turned,
and the tension increased until we reached a violent crescendo. Bad Tourists
was thoroughly entertaining and engrossing. If you are after a great mystery
and thriller, I’d definitely recommend Bad Tourists.
