The Resort: A Novel

"A deadly, dangerous, beautiful nightmare." -- Chris Whitaker, New York Times bestselling author of We Begin at the End

For readers of Rachel Hawkins and We Were Never Here comes a searing vacation thriller set on a remote island in Thailand following two mysterious women, a charismatic group of expats, and the one murder poised to bring their paradise crashing down.

Welcome to paradise. We hope you survive your stay...

There are three rules to follow during a vacation at the famous Koh Sang Resort

1 - Leave the past behind.

When Cass sets foot on the coast of Thailand's world-famous party island, she's searching for an escape. With dark secrets following her every move, Koh Sang becomes the perfect place to hide.

2 - Always be careful of who you trust.

Now, years later, Cass is a local dive instructor alongside the Permanents, a group of expats who have claimed the island as their own. The Permanents don't linger on who they were before the island. Simply because, like Cass, they all have something to outrun.

3 - If someone discovers who you really are, run.

But suddenly, a dive student is found dead and paradise comes crashing down. Because this isn't the first mysterious death on the island, and it won't be the last. Someone knows who Cass is and they're ready to make sure justice is finally served.

Enjoyed this book and thankful that the ending was intense or else I don’t think I would’ve liked it. Too many back and forth. Too many immaturely pointed fingers at “suspects” that turned out to be innocent. It was like too many plots in one story that I didn’t feel was necessary. But overall, I will say that I did enjoy the book. The ending made it for me. There was a lot that was predictable by the end, but that very last twist that the author put in kept me wanting more. Drawn out start with a killer ending.
