About this listen

'Brilliantly written ... Twisty, dark and witty. A total page turner!' Karen Hamilton

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

Critic reviews

"The tension, the intrigue! I was desperate to know what 'The Assistant' was up to…loved every second." (Jackie Kabler)

"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)

"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)

Frustrating listen. 9 hours of nothing for 2 quite obvious action! I found the voices irritating and the layout confusing to begin with.

It annoyed me

wish it had been in the description, whole thing is about infertility and how crackers those women are about having babies, not for me and a frustrating stereotype

another story about how crazy women are re babies.
