Fresh Fiction Review

The Business Trip
Jessie Garcia

Reviewed by Evie Harris
Posted January 31, 2025

Thriller Domestic

If they hadn't been seated in the same row on the plane Stephanie and Jasmine probably would never have met. Jasmine is running from an abusive relationship and Stephanie is headed to a business conference. They were traveling to two different cities and had a casual conversation. Shortly after their arrival, they send identical texts to their friends saying they had met a man, Trent McCarthy, and that they were going to his home. Two women met the same man and were both going home with him? At first, they seemed to be enthralled with him, but that quickly changed. Was he dangerous? Then both women vanish.

Meticulously plotted and detailed, THE BUSINESS TRIP, by Jessie Garcia, keeps readers engrossed from start to finish.  Told by multiple voices and text messages that the women have allegedly sent, the multilayered narrative takes many unpredictable paths. Nothing about this story is predictable and things get more complicated with every page. The timing is perfect. When the truth about the women is revealed, well, it is shocking. As for the conclusion, it is unguessable. 

For those who enjoy a gripping and profound psychological thriller, THE BUSINESS TRIP is well worth reading. Highly recommended.

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?
