About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The eagerly anticipated new thriller from the No.1 bestselling author of Disclaimer.

'Poised to establish herself as a big name' Telegraph

Look around you. Who holds the most power in the room? Is it the one who speaks loudest, who looks the part, who has the most money, who commands the most respect?

Or perhaps it’s someone like Christine Butcher: a meek, overlooked figure, who silently bears witness as information is shared and secrets are whispered. Someone who quietly, perhaps even unwittingly, gathers together knowledge of the people she’s there to serve – the ones who don’t notice her, the ones who consider themselves to be important.

There’s a fine line between loyalty and betrayal. And when someone like Christine Butcher is pushed to her limit, she might just become the most dangerous person in the room . . .

 Crime Thrillers Mystery Psychological Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths

Critic Reviews

A cool, contemporary, whip-smart thriller.
A black diamond of a thriller - gleaming, sharp, deeply dark - but so much more: a cool, elegant novel with a heartbeat, a pulse, and a sting in its tail.
Clever, clever, clever. At the black heart of this story is a personal assistant - the colleague in your office who hears and knows everything about everyone - and Renée leads us on a deeply unsettling exploration of the limits of loyalty. Believe me, chats by the photocopier will never be the same . . .
A scintillating double psychological portrait . . . an arresting ending reminiscent of Rendell at her flintiest.
An explosive tale of revenge that had me completely hooked.
Truly menacing. A meticulously constructed thriller . . .
Woah, you are in for a treat with The Secretary! Dark and intriguing with utterly compelling characters. I genuinely couldn’t put it down.
An engrossing study of twisted dynamics in a relationship where one person holds all the power. Fans of Notes on a Scandal will love it.
Deceptively clever and so unsettling. I love the way she casually slips in a twist that makes you shake your head at how wrong you were!
Filled with a creeping sense of menace that intensifies beautifully as the novel unfolds. Watch out for this one . . . absolutely brilliant.

Riveting and gripping thriller by Renee Knight, with a fantastic narration by Victoria Hamilton. Hamilton turned this audiobook into a fascinating journey with her voice.

It was a nice reading. Gripping right from the first few pages what is interesting is the fact that crime is smooth and manageable here. We become a part of the happenings. Quite enjoyable.
