A Killer in Paradise




The latest gripping locked-room mystery from the Sunday Times bestselling author. Perfect for fans of Anthony Horowitz and Knives Out.

One tropical paradise.

One deadly reunion.

When Zach and Olive agree their marriage is over, the last thing they expect is an invitation from their old friend, Lara, to visit her in Costa Rica. They haven’t heard from the captivating heiress in ten years, since the summer they and three other friends backpacked through Central America - when something terrible happened…

Now, Lara is unveiling a luxury ecolodge on the very site where Zach proposed during that breathtaking summer. Olive hopes this dream trip could save their marriage. Zach, however, is convinced Lara has an ulterior motive.

As the group reunites, old rivalries and secrets are quick to resurface. And someone is desperate to keep their deadly secret about what happened a decade ago hidden, whatever the cost…
