Sue Watson is an incredibly gifted writer. As she penned this domestic thriller, it was easy to find fault with each of the guests, but quite difficult to imagine who the likely killer was. In fact, Ms. Watson created a bevy of unlikable characters, thus increasing the difficulty of sorting out the killer's identity. By so doing, this book proved intriguing from beginning to end. Considering the twists in this book, as well as misdirection, this was definitely a book designed to keep even the most keen of readers on their toes. Noah's concern for Emma, and her refusal to confront her traumatic experience, have driven a wedge between the couple. Pursuing Pasaje based on the romanticized ideal of Sam and Violet, who like Noah and Emma fell in love at Christmas, is a way for Emma to reconnect with their relationship as it was before. When she finally reaches Pasaje, however, she decides not to enter the pool, later telling Noah that she " didn't want to lose 15 years." There's a dual meaning to this statement. But then a beautiful waitress, Stella from the restaurant is found lying dead at the bottom of the cliffs. And now everyone is questioned by the police in this murder investigation. Sam and David Harrison are on their Honeymoon ~ (however David is so critical of Sam; he certainly has my Spidey sense on alert!) Daisy and Tom are trying to enjoy a luxury break, and celebrate the end of something. It had been a difficult year for them, after the tragic loss of their child and after three unsuccessful rounds of IVF, they have stopped treatment and have had to accept reality. Daisy had worked as an art director for a fashion magazine, and had put her career first and waited later to have a child. Now at thirty-eight, Daisy must accept a future without a child. She was now lost and afraid her younger husband would look elsewhere for his opportunity to having a family.

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. I loved the premise of the book; Couples at a holiday who find each other after a murder. There were just enough suspects to keep the suspense heightened, and I just had to keep reading, searching for clues. The couples all had their secrets, but it wasn’t all revealed at the same time, which I liked. Watson has an appealing writing style that kept me on the edge of my seat. No unnecessary words or sentences. It was supposed to be an idyllic honey moon on a deserted island but for Sam & David it was a nightmare. There was always something happening, and the hotels atmosphere matched with the unsettling vibe you got while reading.Luna best explains the show's real meaning when she observes that " They lost time [...] It's pretty on the surface, but if you squint, it's f***ed up." The Resort is a story all about the destructive pull of nostalgia. Violet is so desperate to see her mother again and relive the time in which she was alive that she abandons her father for 15 years. Sam and Violet's love story appeals to Emma because it's sort of like time travel. Through them, she can relive that time when " everything is so meaningful and the highs are, like, so f***ing high" before " the lows keep getting lower." Sue Watson was a journalist on national magazines and newspapers before becoming a TV producer with the BBC. She tried not to think of what might have been and counted her blessings as she stood quietly at the top of the wooden steps down to the beach, her art director’s eye scanning the view for shots.” Now a USA Today bestselling author, Sue explores the darker side of life, writing psychological thrillers with big twists.
