A PARADISE ISLAND
You walk across white sand towards the sparkling ocean. You're leading a group to scuba dive in some of the most beautiful waters on earth, an experience that will stay with you forever.

WHERE NO ONE IS SAFE
But twenty minutes later, one diver is dead, another critically injured, and your life is in immediate danger.

AND NO ONE CAN ESCAPE
Because this was no accident. There's a killer in paradise - and you think you might be next...

'A compelling and accomplished debut, perfect for fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley.' - STEVE CAVANAGH

The Resort is an escapist, up-all-night thriller that holds you under and doesn't let you surface for air until the very final page. Utterly compelling! - LUCY CLARKE

About the Author

A self-admitted travel addict, Sara Ochs has built a life around visiting beautiful and sometimes dangerous destinations. While learning to scuba dive on a remote island off the coast of Thailand, Sara heard that two backpackers had recently been murdered not far from her hotel. Horrified that something so terrible could happen in such an idyllic location, she knew she had found the inspiration for her debut novel, The Resort. As well as being an author, Sara is an attorney and law professor, who splits her time between the United States and Sweden. You can find Sara on Instagram @saraochsauthor and on Twitter @OchsWrites.
