About this audiobook
“[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.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Meh. Little differentiation between the half dozen or so characters. Just gender, obligatory gay guy and a few black people. All of them were 1D and uninspiring. The plot was much wordage, but about nothing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A bunch of unlikable characters do lot of bad things. In a satire of tech bro’s. A few laughs in an otherwise forgettable narrative.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/53.75 stars rounded up - really fun and engaging story, fantastically narrated, just didn’t stick the landing. Still: a page-turning and entertaining workplace drama/mystery worth a beach read!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hooked from the start, loved the characters Emma created can’t wait for her next book !
