The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia
THE BUSINESS TRIP is the gripping, page-turning debut from author Jessie Garcia.
Stephanie and Jasmine have nothing and everything in common. The two women don’t know each other but are on the same plane. Stephanie is on a business trip and Jasmine is fleeing an abusive relationship. After a few days, they text their friends the same exact messages about the same man—the messages becoming stranger and more erratic.
And then the two women vanish. The texts go silent, the red flags go up, and the panic sets in. When Stephanie and Jasmine are each declared missing and in danger, it begs the questions: Who is Trent McCarthy? What did he do to these women— or what did they do to him?
Twist upon twist, layer upon layer, where nothing is as it seems, THE BUSINESS TRIP takes you on a descent into the depths of a mastermind manipulator. But who is playing who?
This was a quick read with a lot of twists.
A bit of a warning. There are a lot of points of view early in the book. I want to say 10+ but I didn’t count them. It was pretty easy to remember who everyone was and the chapters were short. But if you struggle with multiple points of view, this one isn’t for you.
Stephanie and Jasmine were so different from each other even though they looked similar. Stephanie had a successful news career and was heading to a conference in San Diego. Jasmine grew up with nothing except for a mom that hated her. She was living with a guy that was abusing her and she needed to get away. It took her a year to save up some of her bar tips and escape. Both women end up sitting together on the plane. And that’s where everything weird starts. Both women end up missing with some clues that lead to another person at the conference. The book has a few twists and the reader will go back to the beginning to hear what really happened.
I gave this book 4 stars. Thank you to Netgalley for my earc.
