My Thoughts
The Last Resort starts to captivate you from the very first page with an inviting image of a secluded Cyprus destination – the ideal place for the heroine to run away to. But such paradise has its price, and the loan burdens fall onto you, leaving you to speculate how far this character will go to keep this dream house.
When all seems lost, a shocking offer presents a moral dilemma: keeping house by killing. This plot twist, which comes out of nowhere, successfully drives up the stakes and suspense. You, as a reader, have no other choice but to read in one breath; will the desperation overrule the conscience?
I won’t give away the rest, but the author’s trajectory toward the end is riveting and packed with hair-raising thrills. The tension-laden premise and the high-stakes choices keep the pace and will have thriller readers rapidly flipping through the pages.
The Last Resort combines a tranquil milieu masking the darker secrets and gripping suspense and offers an engrossing psychological thriller with moral ambiguity. It is a 4-star escape into a distorted paradise that you won’t forget long after you’ve finished the last page. All you thriller fans, I give this a big thumbs up.
