If you enjoy gripping thrillers with unexpected twists that keep you hooked make this your next go to read. Very good.

The last resort by Heidi Perks was a fantastic engrossing thriller which hooked up from start to finish and what an ending it was. With great character development I could not work out what was going on and who was telling the truth.

It is told from multiple perspectives and going from to past to present. Which helped build up the suspense. Erin and Will, married for years and with a young child have unexpectedly reached a crisis point in their marriage. They both don’t know why things have deteriorated so much in such a short time. The couple decide to go to marriage counselling with a woman called Maggie Day. After a few visits Maggie doesn’t know how who to trust and believe. Erin says she does not trust Will and that she feels scared of him but cannot explain why. Will says is wife is lying when she mentions various incidents that she claims have taken place between the two of them.Then Erin is brought into hospital in a critical condition following a hit and run accident.

Fantastic thriller which had me blown away with ending. Highly recommend this to everyone excellently written. My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

The Last Resort is an amazing thriller told throughout multiple POV's. Erin is the victim of a hit and run and as we go back to the last six months we start to see the true story of what happens through Erin and her husband Will. I didn't see any of the twists coming and I was blown away by how well everything linked up in the end. I couldn't put this down and thought this was a brilliant thriller and a quick read I highly recommend.

Well this book went in a direction I was not expecting so that’s a good sign of a good author. I really enjoyed this dark thriller about a therapist trying to help two new clients when everything changes for all of them. If I say anything else it will spoil it but you won’t be disappointed.

Erin and Will, a long-standing couple - married for over a decade and with a young child - have unexpectedly reached a crisis point in their marriage. They both describe themselves as having been happily married for many years and are desperate to understand why things have deteriorated so much in such a short time.

When the couple go together to visit a marriage counsellor, Maggie Day also finds herself struggling to make sense of it all. Erin says she does not trust Will and that she feels scared of him but cannot explain why. Will says is wife is lying when she mentions various incidents that she claims have taken place between the two of them.

It would be unfair to describe this book simply as a psychological thriller, because the character development displays far greater depth than you would normally see in a work of that kind. Heidi Perks has intimately examined the psyche of her 2 key female characters in particular, and really succeeds in bringing them to life in the reader's mind.

My only criticism of this book is that it took some time to warm up, so it was hard to see where the story was going, and the first few chapters could do with some tightening in terms of editing. But having said that, this is easily one of the most interesting books I have read in a while - and I read a lot of books!

The story is nuanced, clever, and very confusing. Deliberately so, given the number of red herrings that Perks sends the reader's way. The result is a book that hugely picks up the pace after a slightly slow start, and does not let up until the last page. The twists are, well, fairly twisted. This is definitely worth a read for anyone who enjoys domestic dramas as well as those who like psychological thrillers.

This was an engrossing thriller about a couple in crisis told from multiple viewpoints from the moment the wife, Erin, is a victim of a hit and run and going back over events from the last six months when the cracks started to show. The stories that Erin tells their therapist clearly seem so true to her yet they’re bizarre on occasions and it’s hard to understand her yet equally her husband, Will, sounds plausible so it’s difficult to understand how both are so believing of themselves. This is woven together extremely well and links past and present brilliantly, the characters are so complicated and the truth very believable. This had me glued to the story and I read it very quickly but that’s a great sign of a brilliant book!

Another fabulous read from Heidi Perks.
Who is lying? I changed my mind several times, everyone seems to have there own agenda......or so it seems.
I love it when i don't have a clue and the twists keep coming right up till the very end.
Try as i might i whizzed through far to quickly.
