A Killer in Paradise by Tom Hindle is a page-turning locked-room mystery with a sun-soaked edge, set inside a brand-new luxury hotel deep in Costa Rica’s rainforest. It’s a holiday you’ll want to book—right up until the moment it turns deadly.
Five old friends arrive for the glamorous launch hosted by Abigail Blythe, a woman they haven’t seen since their student backpacking trip through Central America ended in catastrophe. Ten years on, the reunion comes with polished cocktails, picture-perfect views, and tensions that never really went away.
When a body is found during the festivities, the resort becomes a pressure cooker: no one can leave, everyone has history, and every conversation feels like a clue. Secrets sharpen into motives as someone fights to keep the past buried.
Perfect for readers who love modern Agatha Christie-style crime fiction, tropical noir, and character-driven suspense with a “vacation gone wrong” vibe.
Step into the rainforest and see if you can spot the killer first.
