Darcy, Camilla, and Kate are on the vacation of a lifetime in the Maldives. They are experiencing top-notch luxury, courtesy of Darcy, a mother of three, who is celebrating her divorce. Camilla works as a Pilates instructor, while Kate is a ghostwriter. The three friends start off having a great time at the remote and exclusive Sapphire Island Resort. More than twenty years ago, their lives were deeply impacted by a horrendous tragedy and the anniversary of the event is coming up. At the resort, the women meet Jade, a beautiful young woman honeymooning at the resort. She doesn't do a good job hiding the fact that her new husband Rob is abusive. The discovery of a body washed ashore raises questions: was it an accidental drowning or a murder? Could this incident somehow be linked to the decades-old event of the past?
Bad Tourists by Caro Carver is divided into three suspenseful sections. Carver reveals the story of each woman and how the tragedy affected them. The most poignant narrative belongs to Kate, who keeps to herself hiding behind the identity of those she writes books for. Author Carvo has previously written in the gothic horror mystery genre under the name C. J. Cooke. With an intense, intriguing storyline, as well as a clever twist, Carvo has successfully crafted a satisfying mystery thriller under her new pen name.
