Who doesn't love a tropical vacation with a little side of murder? I have you covered with my curated book list featuring thrillers set on vacations. These are a mix of newer releases and backlist books, as well as some lesser known titles. I found that my library had most of these available, but if you want to have a copy to keep in your personal library, I've included my Bookshop.org link below.
I hope these titles transport you on a "killer" tropical vacation and keep you on the edge of your seat!
