Beschrijving uitgever
A weekend getaway takes a dark turn, ending with one dead body, five friends with guilty consciences – and one of them a killer. The Guilt Trip is a heart-racing, twisty thriller from Sandie Jones, author of The Other Woman.
A pool-side weekend in Portugal is the perfect way for five lifelong friends to celebrate the upcoming wedding of one of their group, Will. And it's a chance for the rest of them to get to know Will’s fiancée, Ali, a little better. A newcomer to their group, Ali seems perfectly nice, and they are pleased to see Will finally happy after years of bad choices.
But Ali is hiding secrets. And, by the end of the holiday, one of the group will be dead, with the rest returning home as suspects, wondering if they really know each other at all . . .
Perfect for fans of T. M. Logan's The Holiday.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this soap opera masquerading as a suspense novel from Jones (The Other Woman), two British couples in their 40s—Rachel and Jack, and Paige and Noah—head to Portugal for the wedding of Jack's much younger brother, Will, to the manipulative and impetuous Ali. They all stay at an awe-inspiring clifftop villa overlooking a fishing village. Deeply insecure Rachel gave up her one true love, Noah, some 20 years earlier, in order to marry and start a family with Jack, a brash record company executive. Noah is now married to Paige, Rachel's best friend. Ali, who once worked for Jack, is seen as a rival by the older women, who are beginning to question their own life choices. Meanwhile, avid surfer Will is too busy riding the waves to notice the undercurrent of tensions that ebb and flow through the other characters' every waking moment. Toward the end, someone drives a car in Rachel's direction with fatal intent, and one of the principals dies. This works well as a telenovela, but those looking for a mystery or thrills will be disappointed.
