Renee Knight worked as a documentary-maker for the BBC before turning to writing. She is a graduate of the Faber Academy 'Writing a Novel' course, and lives in London with her husband and two children. Her widely acclaimed debut novel, Disclaimer, was a Sunday Times No.1 bestseller. The Secretary is her second novel.
A cool, contemporary, whip-smart thriller. * Paula Hawkins, bestselling author of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN and INTO THE WATER * 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. * A. J. Finn, bestselling author of THE WOMAN IN THE WINDOW * 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 Renee leads us on a deeply unsettling exploration of the limits of loyalty. Believe me, chats by the photocopier will never be the same . . . * Fiona Barton, bestselling author of THE WIDOW * A scintillating double psychological portrait . . . an arresting ending reminiscent of Rendell at her flintiest. * Sunday Times * An explosive tale of revenge that had me completely hooked. * Good Housekeeping * Truly menacing. A meticulously constructed thriller . . . * Susie Steiner, author of MISSING, PRESUMED * Woah, you are in for a treat with The Secretary! Dark and intriguing with utterly compelling characters. I genuinely couldn't put it down. * Laura Marshall, author of FRIEND REQUEST * 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. * Tammy Cohen, author of THEY ALL FALL DOWN * 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! * Lesley Kara, author of THE RUMOUR * Filled with a creeping sense of menace that intensifies beautifully as the novel unfolds. Watch out for this one . . . absolutely brilliant. * Fiona Cummins, author of RATTLE *
