The Secretary
The Secretary: A Novel | Renée Knight
17 posts | 16 read | 13 to read
Renée Knight follows up her international sensation Disclaimer with this shivery tale of psychological suspense, featuring a character as disturbing and compelling as Mrs. Danvers in Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca. From her first day as Personal Assistant to the celebrated Mina Appleton, Christine Butcher understands what is expected of her. Absolute loyalty. Absolute discretion. For twenty years, Christine has been a most devoted servant, a silent witness to everything in Mina’s life. So quiet, you would hardly know she is there. Day after day, year after year, Christine has been there, invisible—watching, listening, absorbing all the secrets floating around her. Keeping them safe. Christine is trusted. But those years of loyalty and discretion come with a high price. And eventually Christine will pay. Yet, it would be a mistake to underestimate such a steadfast woman. Because as everyone is about to discover, there’s a dangerous line between obedience and obsession.

Started listening to The Secretary. Looking at the cover expecting something of a psychological read.

The secretary is the most dangerous person in the room.

It's too hot today to read anything but a nice pulpy easy reading thriller. This is doing the job nicely.

What a delightfully dark read! Your devoted secretary is diligently by your side daily for years, you confide in her, you use her devotion to you to manipulate her into doing things she shouldn't. She gives up her family to be at your beck and call, will she stay by your side as your world starts to crumble?! A mesmerising read the relationship between the secretary and her boss was a twisted and addictive read. #thesecretary #reneeknight

Ok so I can‘t rave about this book being the most exciting and riveting but I‘m going to rate it a so-so cause it kept me reading. Its a super easy read and I pretty much finished it in three days. Having an ending that was not expected gave the book a few points also. It is a little slow to start but does pick up in the middle.

It took a while to get off the ground, the final few scenes were worth the wait though. I think the ending was clever, and in ways was a cliff hanger- don‘t worry I won‘t spoil it. I wouldn‘t say that it‘s excellent, but it‘s a good read. If you‘re looking for an intense thriller, it‘s perhaps a bit tame and mild, it is interesting though and a good examination of loyalty.

This was a big ‘meh‘ for me. It felt like it went on forever and when it finally reached the ‘pinnacle‘ of the story I was ready to move on to another book.

A slow burn.. not sure how I feel about the ending. A tad repetitive, but a good showing of the struggle for power and loyalty..
