Synopsis

*

A HOLIDAY TO REMEMBER. A DARK PAST SHE CAN’T FORGET.

‘One of the most daring, exciting new voices in psychological suspense.’ Lisa Jewell

‘Dripping with suspense that keeps you guessing’ The Sun

‘Michallon masterfully weaves past cult abuse into a taut present-day procedural, blending psychological complexity with enough terror to make you white-knuckle your beach chair’ Oprah Daily

From the bestselling author of The Quiet Tenant comes a compulsive new psychological thriller – the perfect holiday read

Fifteen years ago, Frida and her brother Gabriel escaped from a cult. Once so close they were able to finish each other’s sentences, a sudden, unspeakable tragedy caused them to drift apart. Now, on holiday at the stunningly luxurious Ara Hotel, they finally have a chance to reconnect between dips in the pool and hikes on spectacular desert trails. It all feels like paradise – until a young woman is found dead.

When the local police arrive and put the resort into lockdown, Gabriel becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation. At first Frida’s belief in his innocence is unwavering – but as the evidence mounts against him, she is forced to confront long-buried memories from their traumatic upbringing, their dramatic escape, and the secret they swore to keep forever.

Alternating between past and present timelines, the plot builds toward a shattering climax that uncovers the fate of the murdered Ara guest and reveals the shocking past that Gabriel and Frida have been hiding for years. Taut, gripping, and intense, Clémence Michallon’s Our Last Resort is a nailbiter that keeps you guessing until the final page, cementing her status as a major new talent in the genre.
