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?

My Review

 The author drew me in and kept me page turning for answers, and what a lot of twists and turns.
You will not see most of the of the twists coming.
We have a women in a bad relationship, and she is planning her escape, and we are along for a very bumpy rides.
The author does a good job of making the twists in this story come alive. Was I surprised, oh yes, and then just when you think you know all that could possibly happen, well, be prepared.
Now I'll be looking for more by this author!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher St. Martin's Press, and was not required to give a positive review.
