Description
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.

In evocative, propulsive prose, Caro Carver has delivered a sizzler. Armchair travelers and thriller lovers rejoice: this is the dark side of paradise, on steroids.” —Jaclyn Goldis, author of The Main Character

Bad Tourists is one of the best thrillers I’ve read—it feels like White Lotus in book form, and kept me guessing the entire way through.

Featured Reviews
Bad Tourists by Caro Carver is a suspenseful, chilling read that I greedily devoured in a single day.
Three women embark on a trip to the Maldives to celebrate a divorce in the most lavish and decadent way. On the surface, Kate, Darcy, and Camilla could not be more different, but their friendship is rooted in a shared traumatic event and, for this reason, they have an unbreakable bond. Things quickly take a very dark turn in their tropical paradise though, and it becomes evident that each of these women are keeping secrets, and they are not the only guests with something to hide.
This is a brilliant read that kept me on the edge of my seat. It is not often that I can sense palpable tension right off of the page, but the author succeeds in sustaining a creepy and unsettling vibe from beginning to end. There is something about the juxtaposition of a very dark narrative set against an idyllic setting that always draws me in. Recommended.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon & Schuster Canada for an ARC.
