The Business Trip by Jessie Garcia
slow-paced
2.0
The Business Trip
Thank you, St Martin's Press, for the gifted e-copy of The Business Trip {partner}
Genre: Mystery
Format: π§π
Pub Date: 1.14.2025
Pages: 352
Star Rating: ββ
Y'all⦠I don't know where to begin with this book. It had SO much potential. The first 30% of the book was full of intrigue, mystery, and just enough uncertainty that I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.
But then the story changed, and we were privy to a different perspective of one of the characters, and the whole thing fell flat.
I felt like the author just repeated everything from the book's first section, added a few quick (obvious) twists, and then plastered one of those cheap dollar-store plastic bows to the top and said, "Ta-da!".
It was a complete letdown, and my only hope is that the book has quite a bit of time before the actual publication, so maybe (hopefully) a few changes can be made to the storyline that would give it some redeeming qualities. Because, if I'm being honest, I think two stars are generous.
