The Resort- Sue Watson- psychological thriller
Three couples are at a luxury resort on an island off the Devon coast when two of the women out walking find a body. It's that of one of the staff who had various jobs from waitress to yoga instructor. The couple each have their own issues from being childless to not quite trusting the other half and one pair are newlyweds having only known each other a matter of months. Did your husband flirt with the now dead waitress and can you trust the man who you have just married?
A nicely built tension which puts the reader guessing at the perpetrator as there are so many leads and red herrings. My thoughts went from person to person, to me the sign of a well thought out and cleverly planned book. The pages turned quickly and I soon got immersed in this, ever guessing who and what and why which is just as I like it. A mystery to the very end and one I thoroughly enjoyed.

You’ve been excited about this getaway for months – at last, a chance to reconnect with your husband at a secluded island resort. But when he unexpectedly calls you from the beach, you hear the urgency in his voice. Something is very wrong.
The beautiful waitress from the restaurant last night has been found lying dead in the sand. And the police want to question your husband about it.
Sure, you saw him glance at her over dinner a few times, but you know he didn’t have anything to do with the poor girl’s death. So why is he asking you to lie to the police that he was with you all night? And where did he go in those missing hours?
When he returns to your beautiful sea-view suite, things get heated and he accuses you of being jealous, just like he always does. Yes, the waitress was overly flirtatious with your husband, but you didn’t actually wish her any harm. Not really.
Can you trust the man you married… or are you the one who can’t be trusted?
A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will have you turning the pages all night long! Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Hunting Party and The Girl on the Train.
