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 others 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 Fridas 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 Michallons 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.
