Erin is brought to hospital in a critical condition by a hit and run accident. But who is responsible?
Two people, two sides of the story, but who do you trust?

Book is written in short chapters and timeline with dual POV. I enjoyed this twisty read, kept me interested. Descriptively written and good character development.

I enjoyed this read kept me guessing. I did guess one twist correctly, but one I didn't see coming.
If you enjoy twisty books that keep you guessing throughout I highly recommend this book.

Will definitely read more from this author.

I want to thank the publisher and #NetGalley for this Advanced readers copy of #TheLastResort.

I really enjoyed this! I love multiple points of view and also timelines going back and forward, I think it really adds to the story. It enhances the perspective when the story is told from differing points of view, you get to know the motivations of the characters. Lots of surprises in this one and I loved the ending.

Great storyline with relationships going wrong, hidden pasts and crime combined. Very readable, with unexpected twists and turns.

Cleverly written with the intertwining tales and how nothing can be seen as a coincidence. The characters were well developed and you felt for them all and wanted resolution for a situation which felt futile.

A clever plot..but...
This psychological thriller has a few key elements including family breakups, suspected infidelity and gaslighting and also legal injustice. For that I would have given It 4 stars.
However, the story has two distinct timelines, one set a few day in August and the other starting mid February that moves forward a few weeks at a time until reaching August. The book alternates between these two settings. This is then complicated by the story being told through the eyes of different characters who appear in both timelines. This can cause confusion for some readers and it certainly did for this reader and spoilt my enjoyment of the book. There is also a timescale issue with a dog that disappeared in February, was suddenly back in August and eventually an explanation appears in June or July.

Perks does it again; another brilliant psychological thriller!

At first, I found Erin just so unreliable. She seemed completely delusional and I felt like she couldn't be trusted. But I also felt like Will was hiding something, causing Erin to feel and think the way she did.

Maggie, the therapist, is hiding her own secrets that slowly unravel as the story goes on. And the twist, well I just didn't expect it.

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book.

Erin Harding has been in a hit and run accident, and everyone is a suspect. Erin’s life was seemingly perfect, up until six months ago. She is a wife and mother, but for some reason, everything seems to go downhill, resulting in Erin and her husband seeking counselling to get them through whatever it is that’s happened, because Erin’s husband has no idea how they’ve reached this place of darkness.

I really liked this book. We read from multiple points of view throughout, and from 6 months previously, including sessions with the counsellor, so we slowly find out exactly what’s happened in Erin’s life. The tension is perfectly fed to us throughout, and really made the story perfect. There were lots of red herrings, and many twists and turns you will not see coming.

Will and Erin are happily married with a young daughter and a much loved pet dog. On Valentines Day Will brings Erin a necklace, an unusual occurrence and when he tries to place it around her neck, Erin flinches. There is seemingly no reason for this but Erin is suddenly fearful of Will. Then when their dog Coco goes missing, she blames Will. Her mistrust of her husband escalates and she begins to blame him unreasonably for all sorts of things and before long their marriage is in trouble. A couples therapist is recommended and they begin to see Maggie each Monday. Maggie has her own demons and when they begin to overlap into Will and Erin’s marriage, there seems little hope for their future. As this well woven story develops, long buried secrets are revealed that have far reaching consequences. Can anyone survive the blame and hurt that escalates in every chapter? A clever psychological thriller that has a twist towards the end that brings answers.

I found this to be a decent family drama, told from various POV and over various timelines.

A woman is the victim of a hit and run and her husband turns up at the hospital in the early hours, well groomed and explaining that he and his wife have been having problems.

There are a variety of characters, all with their own issues and the plot is well structured with many red herrings.

It’s an easy read and I’m grateful to NetGalley and Random House, Cornerstone for the opportunity to preview.

This novel was okay. The characters I couldn't connect with in this genre. I think I need something with more meaning as this felt very materialistic.

An interesting and intriguing plot told from various points of view. Some shifting back in time but overall well told. A surprising ending.
An easy and compelling read.

This is the one couple’s therapy you will want to attend! A complex relationship is put to the ultimate test when the woman becomes a victim of an accident (or is it?)
So good you won’t be able to stop turning the pages!
