“Marissa Stapley’s writing is a gift.”—Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author
Miles Markell is missing, and everyone is a suspect.
To the guests at The Harmony Resort, Doctors Miles and Grace Markell appear to be a perfect power couple. They run a couples’ therapy retreat in a luxurious resort in the Mayan Riviera where they help spouses deal with their marriage struggles.
Johanna and Ben’s relationship looks great on the surface, but in reality, they don’t know each other at all. Shell and Colin fight constantly—Colin is a workaholic, and Shell always comes second—but what has really torn them apart is too devastating to talk about. When both couples begin Harmony’s intensive therapy program, it becomes clear that Harmony is not all that it seems—and neither are Miles and Grace. What are they hiding, and what price will these couples pay for finding out their secrets?
As a deadly tropical storm descends on the coast, trapping the hosts and the guests on the resort, secrets are revealed, loyalties are tested and not one single person—or their marriage—will remain unchanged by what follows.
A gripping exploration of relationships and trust, The Last Resort is a propulsive read about all the big truths we hide, even from ourselves.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the gripping latest from Stapley (Things to Do When It's Raining), celebrity marriage counselor Miles Markell and his wife, Grace, run the Harmony Resort, located on an island off Mexico's Mayan Riviera, where unhappily married couples can enroll in a two-week course designed to rebuild troubled relationships. District attorney Ben Reid and his social worker wife, Joanna, come hoping to reestablish intimacy in their two-year-old marriage. Also present are mining industry executive Colin Williams and his wife, Shell, who longs to reconnect with her workaholic husband. Nothing is as it appears. Underneath the surface, everyone is hiding secrets that could put them all in peril, more so than the category 4 hurricane barreling toward the island. A teasing prologue reveals that Miles goes missing after the hurricane strikes. The question of his fate will keep readers guessing to the end. Stapley shows a real knack for suspense.

Not a suspense thriller; not for me
I was expecting more of a thriller but this was a little too slow and all over the place for me. It felt very unorganized and I couldnt decipher all the female characters from one another. I kept getting confused, especially when there were flashbacks for each one of them. I need to have a detailed physical description of each character so I can follow the story easily (just personal preference). I found myself going back to previously read chapters to figure out who I was reading about. It did pick up during the second half of the book, but by then I was already bored. I think I was just expecting more of a scary, suspense thriller.
