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 a HUGE disappointment. i had such high hopes but it was a diluted version of a good psychological thriller. it felt unoriginal, hard to follow, details were over looked, and Jesse Garcia overall did a questionable job. Ending was disappointing as well. Sadly wouldn’t recommend!

I wish I could find a way to enter a small clip of a standing ovation to this review. Majestic! Jessie Garcia is a truly gifted writer who found a way to tell a story from multiple character points of view and delivered a fantastic thriller! I can't recommend this book enough; you will be consumed, and it will keep you guessing all the way to the end. I have so many books, but this one will be part of my top 3 for life.

This was quite the twisty debut, my book peeps!! Definitely fast-paced too!! 🙌 Lots of POVs to keep track of, but I did feel it was doable. I also felt that there was a much simpler solution to Jasmine’s plight. 🤔 But it was still a fun read that kept me hooked! 👏 Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Jessie Garcia for the opportunity to read the eARC in exchange for my honest review! I look forward to reading more from Jessie in the future! ❤️
