What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

The trip of their dreams is about to end in murder.

When five old friends are invited to join Abigail Blythe at the launch of her luxury hotel in the Costa Rican rainforest, they jump at the chance to spend a week in paradise.

None of them have heard from Abigail since the summer they went backpacking in Central America as students – a trip that ended in disaster for one member of the group…

Ten years may have passed, but old rivalries are never far from the surface. So when a body is discovered during the hotel’s launch event, it soon becomes clear that one among them must be responsible.

Someone is desperate to keep an old secret hidden – whatever the cost…

Critics Review

Tom Hindle is rapidly asserting himself as the master of the murder mystery and this is his best one yet. With an exotic location, strained relationships, dangerous secrets and festering resentments, A Killer in Paradise will keep you glued to your seat until the final page.
Anita Frank
A murderous escape to a luxury Costa Rican resort filled with secrets and twists. This one will keep you guessing until the end!
Kelly Mullen
Endlessly compulsive – with depths as hidden and sinister as the rain forest itself.
J M Hall
A subtropical tour-de-force… Hidden motivations and underhand shenanigans abound in this twisting, double bluffing classic mystery.
David Goodman
Tom Hindle has committed the perfect crime novel. A tangled tale of a reunion in Costa Rica that goes twistily and murderously wrong! A delight from start to finish and a five-star read for me!
Janice Hallett
Hindle surprises and astonishes the way only magicians and the best crime writers can. A dazzler.
Benjamin Stevenson
Set against the darkly pulsating backdrop of the rainforest, this excellent closed circle mystery cements Hindle’s reputation for delivering gripping modern takes on the Christie formula. Tremendously engaging.
