A beautiful, secluded island resort sounds like a dream but for the three couples in this book – it becomes a nightmare!

Sam and David are on their honeymoon. Daisy and Tom are taking this time away to decide how to move forward after loss. Becky and Josh have left their kids behind for a chance to be together. What more could they ask for? They are in a beautiful location, the food is delicious, the drinks are flowing, and they have formed a holiday friendship of sorts. Their trips should be bliss. But unfortunately, the body of the beautiful young waitress/yoga instructor has been found. The police have been called in and everyone is a subject. Being on an island they know they can’t leave and someone in their midst is a murderer!

Who can be trusted? Who indeed!

This one had me scratching my head initially as I tried desperately to solve the case. It was evident from the beginning that something wasn’t right. There were too many suspicious characters, but secretive behavior and lies do not necessarily make one a killer, does it?

Watson has once again written a gripping and tension filled book! She kept me on my toes guessing and second guessing my prime suspect which changed throughout the book. Then at the end of the day – I was wrong!

This was a captivating whodunit which had me turning the pages at breakneck speed. I also loved the tropical island location which added to the atmosphere and gave a there-is-no-escape feel to the book.

Full of tension and unease, The Resort was right up my alley. Plus, that ending left me with my mouth hanging open! Shock-a-Rama!
