Expertly plotted and brimming with dark surprises, The Hollywood Assistant is classic Cobb. I was absolutely transfixed. Don't miss this knock-out thrill ride.“ —Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Overnight Guest ""Every single May Cobb book is a treat I cannot put down. Nobody writes characters as relatable as Cobb, I don't know how she does it! It's like she's in my head, reading all of my intrusive thoughts, and she's poured them into her main characters. A delicious book I tore through in one sitting."" —Jesse Q.
