Genre: Thriller
Pages: 368
My Rating: ★★★★☆
The Last Resort is a psychological thriller that centres around Erin and Will, who are struggling with their marriage. Erin feels Will is gaslighting her, she starts having flashbacks and worries she’s not safe around her husband any more. They agree to see Maggie, a marriage counsellor. But how do the three tie together? Does Will have something to do with the death of Maggie’s sister years ago?
I enjoyed this book, though I did work out “whodunit” quite early on. I felt the characters were well developed and their roles were clearly defined, though I didn’t really warm to any of them.
I enjoyed the back and forth between past and present, which helped build the storyline and tension up. I think it would’ve been 5 stars if there had been just a couple more twists that I didn’t see coming.
A good read. Thank you NetGalley and Random House for my advanced copy.
