The Business Trip: A Novel

"A stunning and accomplished debut, with hugely relatable characters and an addictive storyline that kept me turning the pages well into the night. Bravo!" --BA Paris, New York Times bestselling author

"Wow, The Business Trip was nonstop twists and turns. I loved the unusual way that the story was told, and I kept reading all day long because I couldn't wait to see how it ended!" -- Freida McFadden, New York Times bestselling author

IT WAS THEIR CHANCE TO GET AWAY, NOT GO AWAY . . . FOREVER.


Stephanie and Jasmine have nothing and everything in common. The two women don’t know each other but have boarded 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—soon, the messages become stranger and more erratic. And then the two women vanish. The texts go silent, red flags go up, and panic sets in.

When Stephanie and Jasmine are each declared missing and in danger, it begs the question: Who is Trent McCarthy? What did he do to these women—or what did they do to him?

Twist upon twist, layer upon layer, nothing is as it seems. The Business Trip takes you on a descent into the depths of a mastermind manipulator. But who is playing whom?

This book was one of those, where you will think about these characters even after you put the book down.

We are following Jasmine who works in a bar and is in an abusive relationship and is fleeing the situation. Then we meet Stephanie. She is a TV station director. When they meet on a flight to San Diego.

The book switches points of view between the two women and other key secondary characters. Which keeps a great flow throughout the book.

This was a 4 star read for me. I really enjoyed it. In this review, I don’t want to share too much. I would hate to spoil anything, as there are twist and turns, I did not see coming. I would say, read this book, and you will not be disappointed. Unreliable characters, twisty plot and revenge. This book has it all.

Thanks to St Martins Press and Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

The male POVS were weird and not my style of writing. I know some we purposefully weren’t supposed to like, but I think they could’ve been less cringe.

Love the justice at the end and the twist was very shocking. Wasn’t expecting that at all

Great great book! Fast-paced, exciting story. The ending was a little cheesy but it didn't change my opinion.
