The Business Trip

By Jessie Garcia

Book Overview

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?

What a ride!

I went into this without looking at the summary so that I had no idea really of what the story was besides it being about two women (Jasmine and Stephanie) who get on the same flight and then something happens. So, all the twists were nicely surprising and as I went through the parts with the before flight, during the conference ((with all the different viewpoints of friends and coworkers to build the tension), after the flight and then the big reveal with the part during the flight I was blown away with the twists and did not expect the actions of certain characters, though I must say I am glad that certain nasty pieces of work got their just rewards. I felt a little more complicated on why certain things happened and felt sorry for what happened to a certain character. But it was a nicely twisty story and very hard to put down with the short chapters that hook you until you look at the time and realize that an hour has passed without notice. And the ending was very satisfactory! So I liked this story and was glad I got the chance to read it!
