The Resort
by Sara Ochs
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
The Resort is a multi-POV thriller set at a remote luxury resort in Thailand. Cass is a scuba instructor who enjoys her life working and living in this beautiful area famous for parties and exclusive events. When one of her students is found dead, she is sure that something is amiss. And Cass is keeping a big secret.
The strengths of this story are the beautiful descriptions of the unique island setting. I loved the details about the close proximity of coral reefs and the scuba segments seemed impressive and well researched. I found the characters interesting enough, but I did not connect or relate to any of the young cast.
As a technical point, I think I would have enjoyed this more as a physical read. The audiobook is voiced primarily by two female narrators who sounded fair to similar for me to effectively tell them apart. It was helpful that each chapter had a narrator heading.
Pick this up if you want the vibes of a summer escape gone wrong with secrets and the mixed up dynamics of working class employees and the elite wealthy.
