The Resort: A completely addictive and gripping psychological thriller with a heart-stopping twist

Product Information

In this hot, claustrophobic setting, friends are questioning friends, wives are looking differently at husbands, no one trusts anyone.” One couple is there to deal with life after loss. Another couple is there on their honeymoon. Another couple's actions cause concern for the others involved. What is everyone's story? More importantly, since there are only six resort guests and some staff, at least one of them is a murderer, thus a long shadow of doubt is cast on just about everyone. The resort is accessible only by boat and the police insist that everyone stays put until all are questioned, especially since motive could easily be assigned to any of them. Watson has once again written a gripping and tension filled book! She kept me on my toes guessing and second guessing my prime suspect which changed throughout the book. Then at the end of the day - I was wrong!

Sue Watson is an incredibly gifted writer. As she penned this domestic thriller, it was easy to find fault with each of the guests, but quite difficult to imagine who the likely killer was. In fact, Ms. Watson created a bevy of unlikable characters, thus increasing the difficulty of sorting out the killer's identity. By so doing, this book proved intriguing from beginning to end. Considering the twists in this book, as well as misdirection, this was definitely a book designed to keep even the most keen of readers on their toes. Three couples are on holiday at a secluded island resort looking to have the time of their lives but end up in a murder investigation. When Stella the resorts bartender is discovered dead at the bottom of nearby cliffs everyone is under suspicion and forced to remain available for police interviews. But then a beautiful waitress, Stella from the restaurant is found lying dead at the bottom of the cliffs. And now everyone is questioned by the police in this murder investigation.

Stella is a bartender, yoga instructor and a waitress. Easy on the eyes and everyone notices, which in turns makes everyone a suspect when she turns up dead on the beach. I loved the premise of the book; Couples at a holiday who find each other after a murder. There were just enough suspects to keep the suspense heightened, and I just had to keep reading, searching for clues. The couples all had their secrets, but it wasn’t all revealed at the same time, which I liked. Watson has an appealing writing style that kept me on the edge of my seat. No unnecessary words or sentences.

Oh. My. Gosh. This, this book right here, is the thriller I've been looking for… Ho. Lee. Cow. Folks. I feel like calling it a “plot twist” is an understatement… Clear your schedule because you will not be wanting to set this down.’ Lily Michaels ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This one had me scratching my head initially as I tried desperately to solve the case. It was evident from the beginning that something wasn't right. There were too many suspicious characters, but secretive behavior and lies do not necessarily make one a killer, does it? The relationships of either of the couples were very trope-y and shallow and not well fleshed out. Neither was any of the characters and none were likeable or relatable. They just all seemed completely off.
