Synopsis

This program features a prologue read by the author.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Reese's Book Club Pick The Other Woman comes The Trade Off, an electrifying new novel of suspense that begs the question: Would you tell a story, if you knew it was a lie? Or tell the truth and sleep at night?

For Stella, deputy editor of The Globe, the choice has always been clear. It doesn’t matter how low she has to stoop—getting the best story is what she’s built her reputation on.

For Jess, The Globe’s rookie reporter, the story stops when the truth does. But she knows that the dirty tricks of the tabloids will be hard to overturn.

And when a celebrity is hounded by The Globe and pays the ultimate price, Jess wonders just how much Stella and the paper are responsible.

Determined to show the world what the tabloid is capable of, Jess will do whatever it takes to uncover the truth, but she needs to watch her back, because someone else is prepared to kill to bury it.

RISK or REWARD. JUSTICE or REVENGE. INNOCENCE or GUILT.

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

The tabloid setting of this new release from Sandie Jones made me want to take shower. Why four stars? Here are four reasons: 🌟 Jess, the new hire, and her boss, Stella, show the two sides if a slippery slope. Is it too late for Stella? 🌟 There is quite a cat and mouse game going on in many ways.
