The Assistant
Description
I know many things about Larissa. I know what she eats, which must-have brands she applies to her face, and the price of each carefully selected 'piece' in her multi-million-pound home in Belgravia. Because Ris, as she is known to her many followers, likes to share. And now I'm here, in her home, watching her every move. Entrusted with her secrets and running her diary from the bijou basement flat, I'm on hand to fulfil Ris' every need. Her right-hand woman. But what she doesn't know is why I'm really here. I've put a lot on the line to get this job, and now my plan can begin. I've waited long enough. From the bestselling author of Close to Me, now a major TV series starring Connie Nielsen and Christopher Eccleston ** 'This book! The tension, the intrigue! I was desperate to know what "The Assistant" was up to… loved every second.' Jackie Kabler 'Brilliantly written ... Twisty, dark and witty. A total page turner!' Karen Hamilton 'A smouldering tale of obsession ... Amanda Reynolds weaves a skilful web of lies and intrigue, suffused with menace until the last killer twist.' Jane Bailey 'Sharp and fresh! A thrilling page-turner that captures the fake world of influencers, social media, and those in the shadows.' Lauren North 'The Assistant will keep you up all night! A smart and twisty thriller, laced with dark humour and menace. A morality tale for our times.' Tracey Emerson 'A brilliantly crafted cat-and-mouse tale, predominantly narrated by the unforgettable Gail Frost - the assistant you do NOT want to cross. Domestic suspense at its very, very best. I loved every minute.' Caz Frear 'I was completely absorbed by the twists and turns and the unsettling atmosphere ... the twists and turns at the end made it impossible to want to do anything but read, read, read... Such a great book.' Alice Kuipers 'Brilliant - unique voice and structure, with twists in plot and perspective that kept me guessing to the end.' Jo Callaghan 'An absolutely gripping story, told in such a unique way.' Melanie Golding 'Marvellously dark, clever, twisty and relevant. Highsmith for the modern age. I was completely gripped.' Anna Mazzola 'Beautifully written … Gail is a superbly drawn, fascinating character and it's a refreshing change to read something from the viewpoint of a woman 'of a certain age'.' Nikki Smith 'Oh, so twisty! The pages turn themselves in this menacing tale of lies and obsession. Amanda Reynolds nails tension and suspense in this fabulous book.' Victoria Selman 'A cracking twist.' Kate Riordan
