MY THOUGHTS:
Weather forecaster Faith Richard, a beloved meteorologist known as “The Fair Weather Friend” for her warm demeanor, suddenly vanished, leaving the entire town in shock. Her disappearance was further compounded by the discovery of her lifeless body the morning after her disappearance. As the investigation unfolds, the town grapples with the mystery of Faith’s fate and the potential secrets that may be unearthed.
As the story unfolds, expertly narrated by Gail Whelan, a shift in perspectives begins to unravel the intricate web of a complicated case. Was Faith the beloved person she was known to be, or were there dark secrets from her past that led to her tragic murder? With a growing list of potential suspects, this gripping thriller by Jesse Garcia offers a solid and captivating reading experience.
Many thanks to MacMillan Audio and to St Martin’s Press and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
Jessie spent over 25 years on the air as a sportscaster and became the sideline reporter for the Green Bay Packers as well as a host of NFL coach's shows. She then got into TV management and now oversees a newsroom of journalists.
Jessie also taught journalism at four universities and produced a documentary on a little-known piece of track and field history.
She has several award-winning non-fiction books out but recently turned to fiction. She has always been drawn to mysteries and thrillers and is excited to be bringing you THE BUSINESS TRIP.
Jessie has two adult sons and lives in Wisconsin with her husband. Their two animals truly rule the house: a savvy cat who simply appeared in the front bushes one day, and a dog who won their hearts at the Humane Society.
