With Jessie Garcia's signature multi-POV, rapid-fire style that will keep you on your toes until the last page, Bad Honeymoon is the next twisty thriller from the author of THE BUSINESS TRIP.
In search of a ratings hit, TV reporter Becca Larson flies to Florida to cover what should be a simple story: a newlywed couple’s honeymoon gone wrong by a nightmare hotel stay.
Eve Schmidt’s story is compelling, disturbing, and sure to entice viewers. Becca meets with Eve, plans the shoot, and lines everything up for the next day. The story is off to the perfect start.
Then, Eve goes silent.
Calls go unanswered, emails bounce back. With no story and no explanation, Becca heads home, embarrassed and bracing herself to explain the failure to her boss.
What she doesn’t know is there’s been a murder. When police show up at her door, everything Becca thought she knew snaps into terrifying focus. A woman is dead. Eve has vanished. And the evidence suggests Becca may have been involved.
This isn’t just a story about a bad honeymoon anymore.
As suspicion turns toward Becca, every decision she made in pursuit of the segment is under scrutiny, and the more she tries to explain herself, the more it seems to implicate her. With her career unraveling, her credibility in question, and her marriage straining under the weight of doubt, Becca must find a way to clear her name before this story defines her for good.
Bad Honeymoon. Sometimes the best stories bring out the worst in people...
