an isolated location thriller with white lotus vibes? count me in! i was hooked from the beginning and didn't want to stop reading this. it's very well-written and has some great, nuanced characters. the one downside is i saw the twist coming (to an extent) so there wasn't a big ah-ha moment for me. i would definitely recommend this as a perfect beach read if you're into thrillers with truly psychopathic characters!

thanks to netgalley and simon & schuster canada for my ARC of bad tourists by caro carver. all opinions are my own.

Wow! This was a fast paced and intense book. I read it in a day. Loved all the different women in the book and how the chapters flowed with differing POVs. Sadly I was disappointed in the ending….dare I say the conclusion was a bit to far-fetched and dark? Otherwise a solid, captivating and well developed plot and overall read.

Thank you go Simon and Schuster for this early review copy.

I enjoyed this book immensely! It was such an interesting take on a thriller—meeting three people who were involved in a mass murder 22 years ago who are trying to find justice in the lives that they lost.

I was on the edge of my seat throughout the novel! I really liked how each bit of the mystery was solved and explained to readers, and how the killer was revealed. So good!

I’m giving it a 4/5 because it was a bit slow in the middle and it was difficult for me to remember who each character was/their purpose in the story.
