Amazing book with more twists and turns than a mountain road! I loved the well-developed characters who kept me guessing and suspecting. I had to read it in one sitting to find out the ending. Highly recommend.

Never judge a book by its cover. There has been an accident and somebody has died. Six friends go on vacation, together, to celebrate a couple getting married. There should be joy and happiness but soon after the story starts, all I see is jealousy and secrets. This was an entertaining story. It kept me interested from the beginning. Sandie Jones is one of my favorite authors and she never disappoints. Thanks to NetGalley, publisher and author, for allowing me to read a copy of this book.

A mystery that will make you appreciate a good marriage. The Guilt Trip has some predictable moments in it, but the overall feel and characters will make you forget that. It is a well written novel and Sandie Jones does a nice job tying everything together at the end.

2 couples, plus the brother of one of them and the bride-to-be go to Portugal for their wedding. All starts to go wrong on arrival when some of the friends suspect the others of having affairs etc. It ends in a death on wedding day and everything changes in these people's lives. A good page turner with a slightly predictable ending.

This is a really good mystery about a destination wedding that goes horribly wrong. Three couples are in Portugal for a wedding, but the bride becomes the center of suspicion when clues lead two of the couples to believe that there is marital cheating. As the lies and secrets pile up and become more twisted, it becomes harder to figure out which are true and which are imagined. I found it hard to put down. I did feel there was a bit too much repetition, but I honestly loved the book and was definitely left reflecting on the ending. I’m still not sure if it was all resolved, since there were unanswered questions.

Thank you Netgalley for this really engaging mystery.

This book will probably sell well, but I found it a bit dull and did not finish it. I did not care for the characters. ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

I have enjoyed the author's previously works before, so was anxious to get my hands on her latest, "The Guilt Trip". Set in Portugal, here we have a group of friends getting together just before one of their wedding's... that is until something goes very, very wrong. If you think this trope has been done before, the answer is "Yes" - Dame Agatha invented it eon's ago with "And Then There Were None", but it still works, especially right now, when so many of us are frightened of other people, even our friends, who maybe we really don't know that well. Much of the first half of this novel hums along like a domestic, but OH! The ending!! Did NOT see that coming!! Excellent twist & Recommend. My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

This was absolutely unputdownable! Well written, with fantastic character development, which had me needing to finish it, but praying for the book not to end! Mind-blowing good! Lots of fun twisty turns, thrills, chills, and shocks! A must read for Sandie Jones’ fans, thriller fans, or those looking for a new genre to try out! Highly., highly, highly recommend! Must warn, you will n want to finish once you start, so clear your schedules and do not start at bed time! Can’t wait for Sandie Jones’ next book!

Will buzz around and use low Amazon reviewer number!

This is a great book about a group of friends who goes on vacation. The central controversy on the book is a newcomer. However with spills out among the group is simmering tensions that lead to a unforeseen conclusion. I love books like this and I’m a big fan of the author. I highly recommend this book.

Now with Jack’s bother getting married to Ali, the three couples head out for Portugal for the wedding. Rachel and Paige are both uncomfortable around the volatile Ali, but while Rachel tries to get to know her for her brother’s sake, Paige is completely put off. Over the course of the weekend, jealousy, secrets and guilt threaten to tear apart marriages and friendships, and may even cost someone their life
