The Business Trip

Summary: 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?

Traveling With T’s Thoughts:

I requested this book via Netgalley and didn’t get approved for it. So a few weeks ago, when my Audible credits were getting to be too much- I decided to listen to this book sample and decided to give it a try.

So I started listening to it and at first, the tension in the first chapter or so with Jasmine leaving Glenn was incredible. I was gripping the steering wheel and hoping she could get out of the trailer.

For awhile the book was good… then it started to go in the ways of outlandish. However, I kept listening because I had to know. The last 10% I was like “WHAT?!”

So I’m floating between 2.5 stars-3 stars.

What I liked:

The cover def fit in with the book.

Fred the cat. I’m partial to cats and I loved the descriptions of Fred!

Lucy. I loved how she was like a dog with a bone with the clues.

Bottom line: While this book was a bit too much crazy town for me at times, I actually would love to see it in a movie or limited miniseries. Would be a great show with a big bowl of popcorn and large glass of wine.
