This was my Book of the Month club pick for February. 

The Resort is a dual POV thriller that focuses on two women at Koh Sang resort in Thailand. Cass is a diving instructor, one of several expats who call themselves the Permanents, who has secrets she’s worried will be exposed. Brooke is a young travel influencer who is on the outskirts of The Permanents, not quite a tourist but not really belonging.

It’s hard to write reviews for thrillers without giving anything away! I definitely enjoyed this one, it had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing and was a lot of fun to read. I liked seeing into the lives of the characters, their secrets, lies, and motivations. Definitely worth a read

 A searing vacation thriller set on a remote island in Thailand following two mysterious women, a charismatic group of expats, and the one murder poised to bring their paradise crashing down.

Welcome to paradise. We hope you survive your stay...

There are three rules to follow during a vacation at the famous Koh Sang Resort

1 – Leave the past behind.

When Cass sets foot on the coast of Thailand's world-famous party island, she's searching for an escape. With dark secrets following her every move, Koh Sang becomes the perfect place to hide.

2 - Always be careful of who you trust.

Now, years later, Cass is a local dive instructor alongside the Permanents, a group of expats who have claimed the island as their own. The Permanents don't linger on who they were before the island. Simply because, like Cass, they all have something to outrun.

3 – If someone discovers who you really are, run.

But suddenly, a dive student is found dead and paradise comes crashing down. Because this isn't the first mysterious death on the island, and it won't be the last. Someone knows who Cass is and they're ready to make sure justice is finally served.
