Publisher's summary

"Narrator January LaVoy's range is highlighted in this audiobook about a single summer on Fire Island when gossip among vacationers and townies is ratcheted up to new levels."—AudioFile on Bad Summer People

A gripping, darkly comic novel from the national bestselling author of Bad Summer People about a team of wealthy and powerful executives on retreat in Miami when one of them goes missing . . .

Every year, executives at the trendy tech startup Aurora gather the company’s top employees for an exclusive retreat in Miami, and this year Caitlin Levy—Aurora’s newest hire—is joining the team as head of events. The benefits are outstanding: a seven-figure salary, stock shares, a discretionary bonus, limitless vacation days—what could possibly go wrong?

When a fellow high-level executive vanishes after the first night, the disappearance has the potential to derail the future of the company’s sale and cost everyone on the team millions. Now more than ever, Caitlin and her colleagues must continue the charade—partaking in team-building exercises, group brainstorms, dinners—in order to keep the future of Aurora afloat amid all the fatal speculations.

Compulsively enjoyable, Very Bad Company is a slick send-up of corporate culture wrapped in a captivating mystery.

A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

A bad company indeed

Rosenblum’s “Bad Summer People” was better, IMHO. This isn’t terrible, and it was a quick audio listen. I recommend borrowing the print copy from the library, so that it’ll be easier to fall along with all of the characters, and take it on a trip with you this summer.

Delectable!

Brilliant! January LaVoy is the GOAT! Her stellar narration, plus the author’s sizzling satirical turns of phrase, are an unbeatable combination! Love!!!
