‘A searing satirical thriller, full of sharp observations on privilege, class, and generational culture wars . . . Clever, contemporary, and a masterclass in slow-burn tension. LOVED it’ Caz Frear

‘A taut, meaty thriller that will have you holding your breath until the very last page’ Celia Walden

‘A tense, queasy page-turner that leaves you second-guessing right up until the final pulse-pounding pages’ Ellery Lloyd

The perfect assistant is not all she seems in this gripping suspense thriller from the author of the Richard & Judy pick Tell Me Your Lies.

Sasha Fulton looks like she has it all – the glittering media career, the happy marriage, the perfect kids. But the truth behind the shining façade is very different. The job is nothing but pressure, and the stroppy teens aren’t even hers. She’s fast reaching breaking point.

When Sasha’s new twenty-something assistant Jenna walks through the door, she seems like the answer to her prayers. Dazzlingly efficient, with a whip-smart wit, Sasha’s soon wondering how she ever lived without her.

But with trouble mounting at home and at work, Sasha is starting to lose control. As the lines between professional and personal become dangerously blurred, she feels like there’s only one person she can rely on.

Sasha is heading for a fall. But is Jenna there to catch her, or to push her over the edge?
