"[January] LaVoy's ability to convey tension and intrigue makes this audiobook a captivating listen."—AudioFile

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 readable, Very Bad Company is a slick send-up of corporate culture wrapped in a captivating mystery.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books.

      Caitlin Levy is at the top of her career as an executive event planner. When she is offered an obscene salary to move to trendy tech company Aurora, she can't pass it up, even though the job description is nonexistent and the CEO is a Churchill-obsessed narcissist. Caitlin must head to Miami for the company retreat before officially starting in her new role, with no idea of the chaos and looming secrets that await. Rosenblum follows up her best-selling debut, Bad Summer People, with a takedown of people behaving badly in a cutthroat high-tech world. Narrator January LaVoy delivers the goods, embodying the full cast of conniving and dysfunctional Aurora executives as they scheme their way through the annual retreat. LaVoy has an impressive ability to uniquely portray characters who have similar motivations. Her pacing and deft narrative change-ups, from sycophantic executive assistant Madison, who is still trying to shake her Southern lilt, to egotistical tech bros, make this already compelling novel a bingeable treat. VERDICT Rosenblum's tale of corporate greed and workplace drama goes down smoothly owing to LaVoy's expert multi-character narration.--Laura Hammond
