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

Twisty, tense, brilliantly written psychological thriller
I love Sue's books and this one was brilliant! It sucked me in immediately and I literally couldn't put it down.The setting is a luxury Art Deco hotel on an island in Devon where 3 very different couples meet to enjoy a relaxing, pampering holiday. But soon a body is found on the hotel's private beach. Suddenly the secluded island seems more frightening than relaxing and, when they find themselves unable to leave, their luxury break becomes a terrifying nightmare.I was hooked on this book immediately! The wonderful picturesque, but isolated setting, which I straight away recognised as Burgh Island in Devon having once been lucky enough to stay there. The multi layered, relatable characters who seemed to come alive within the pages. And of course the unrelenting tension as, I, like the protagonists, didn't know who to trust. The isolation and terror of the characters was so realistically portrayed, I just had to keep reading to find out what happened!I've read all the author's psychological thrillers and every one continues to enthrall me. Highly recommended and am eagerly awaiting Sue Watson's next book.

Page Turner Alert!!
Sue Watson is one of my favourite domestic-thriller authors. She really knows how to tell an unputdownable tale. Packed with glamour, suspense and sheer creepiness, The Resort is fantastic holiday read set in luxurious surroundings. The story centres around the twisted relationships of three couples who each come to stay at Fitzgerald’s, a gorgeous Art Deco hotel on a small Island in Devon. After a body turns up, the tension builds even further. Add in some vile husbands (David -ugh!), unreliable narrators, great female friendships and a truly unguessable twist, and the result is another absolute page turner. Loved it!

Very exciting and fast paced.
I really liked it. Very exciting a story. Three couples a murder and a swanky resort. Everything happens here. It’s slow in terms of movement but the pace of the narrative super quick. Loved it.

Not as good as expected
The end is a bit too surprising. I didn't like it. Not much going on, lots of hints that lead to nothing. Disappointing.
