IS IT EVER A GOOD IDEA TO GO ON HOLIDAY WITH FRIENDS?

Best friends Darcy, Camilla and Kate have just landed in the Maldives for a luxury holiday. They can't wait for ten days of scorching sun, crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches.

But against this idyllic backdrop, long-buried secrets come to light one by one, and the darker side of female friendship floats to the surface.

After all, when you've known each other forever, you're bound to hold a grudge or two - and the bet of friends can make the worst of enemies...

Which of them will make it back alive - if any?

Reviews for Last Friend Alive

A whip-smart, fun, and stylish novel: I raced through it. * Gillian McAllister, Sunday Times bestselling author of Wrong Place, Wrong Time and Just Another Missing Person * With a genius premise, Bad Tourists hooks from the first page and doesn’t let go until the nail-biting final chapter when the cleverly woven threads pull together for a perfect ending. A sublime thriller, an absolute scorcher. I loved it! * Andrea Mara, author of No.1 Sunday Times bestseller No One Saw a Thing * A twisty, turny, deliciously dark thriller set in paradise. I couldn’t put it down. * Clare Pooley, author of The Authenticity Project * In need of a thrilling page turner? Then don't get on a plane this summer without Bad Tourists. * Cosmopolitan * A captivating, sinister, sophisticated mystery that had me reading at rapid speed and pulling the covers up to my chin. The twists are ingenious and the finale, utterly explosive. 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 *
