Jones’s explosive new novel The Guilt Trip will have readers gripped to the
very last page.
Six friends.
Rachel and Noah have been friends since they met at university. While they once
thought that they might be something more, now, twenty years later, they are
each happily married to other people, Jack and Paige respectively. Jack’s
brother Will is getting married, to the dazzling, impulsive Ali, and the group
of six travel to Portugal for their destination weekend.
Three couples.
As they arrive at a gorgeous villa perched on a cliff-edge, overlooking
towering waves that crash on the famous surfing beaches below at Nazaré, they
try to settle into a weekend of fun. While Rachel is looking forward to getting
to know her future sister-in-law Ali better, Ali can’t help but rub many of the
group up the wrong way: Rachel’s best friend Paige thinks Ali is
attention-seeking and childish, and while Jack is trying to support his brother
Will’s choice of wife, he is also finding plenty to disagree with Noah about.
One fatal misunderstanding . . .
But when Rachel discovers something about Ali that she can hardly believe,
everything changes. As the wedding weekend unfolds, the secrets each of them
hold begin to spill, and friendships and marriages threaten to unravel. Soon,
jumping to conclusions becomes the difference between life and death.
Audiobook Review: When
I started listening to this book I had already read the eBook version so I
thought I knew what was going to happen.
What I realized that by just reading and not actually hearing the words
I missed some emotions and reactions of the characters. Clare Corbett, the narrator, did an amazing
job of taking the thriller of a story and bringing it to life with her tone and
cadence. My attention was easy to keep
and I found myself looking for times to listen to more.
eBook Review:
I love a good thriller. Sandie
Jones wrote a book that pulled me in from the beginning, kept me turning pages,
and loving every word she wrote. I
loved the twists, the turns, the ups, and the downs. I followed the characters exactly where they
wanted me to go, I may have missed some clues, but I still had many guesses as
to what was going to happen next.
The beginning introduced a lot of characters in a short
timeframe, and I have to admit that I had a hard time keeping them all
straight, especially who was with who.
As I continued to read, I realized that may have been done
intentionally. It seemed each character
had a tie to another character and it was fun to figure out who was doing what
with who and when.
I enjoyed Sandie Jones’ book. The characters were twisted, fun, and
relatable. This is a perfect, fun,
twisted suspense, mystery, and thriller.
**Thank you NetGalley for a copy of the book in exchange for
