The Last Resort by Heidi Perks

5.0

"The Last Resort" by Heidi Perks is a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Without giving away any spoilers, I can tell you that the story revolves around a couple, Erin and Will, who find themselves in a marriage on the brink. When they decide to seek couples therapy with Maggie, their therapist, the narrative takes off into a world of uncertainty and doubt.

The story is told from multiple perspectives and different timelines, which adds layers of complexity to the narrative. It keeps you guessing, and I couldn't help but wonder who was telling the truth. The twists and red herrings in the plot are masterfully done, making it a true page-turner.

What I particularly loved about "The Last Resort" was the depth of character development. Erin's vulnerability and Will's denial felt incredibly real, making it easy to get emotionally invested. The uncertainty surrounding their relationship keeps you guessing, and Maggie's complex character adds an extra layer of intrigue.

The story's pacing is expertly done, with well-placed hints and twists that will keep you turning the pages late into the night. The ending will leave you eagerly waiting for more. It's a cliffhanger that's both frustrating and tantalizing.

In a nutshell, "The Last Resort" is a must-read for fans of domestic dramas and psychological thrillers. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a story that keeps you guessing and challenges your perception of reality. If you're a fan of authors like Clare Mackintosh or Lisa Jewell, this book is right up your alley. Heidi Perks has crafted a compelling book that will leave you craving more. It's a five-star read that I can't recommend highly enough.
