Blurb
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.
My Opinion
Slow and Steady wins the race...............
This phrase is definitely created for this book, The Assistant by Amanda Reynolds. The plot is too slow right from the beginning, but do not lose patience. The real drama starts at the third half of the book. Full of thrills, the twists are going to drop like a bomb. From the beginning the plot is going to be mainly between two characters, Ris and Gail. I was totally confused and flipping through the pages for some thrill. And after I reached halfway, my patience was rewarded when a new character Mia enters. It was absolutely a mind blowing thriller.
Definitely, 5 stars for the book. Thanks to Netgalley and Rachel's Random Resources for providing me with an opportunity to be a part of the blog tour.
