"A cool, contemporary, whip-smart thriller."--Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train Renee 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 Mina Appleton's assistant, Christine Butcher understands what is expected of her: Absolute loyalty. Absolute discretion. For nearly twenty years, Christine has been a devoted servant and 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 invisible--watching, listening, absorbing all the secrets floating around her and keeping them safe. But there is a dangerous line between loyalty and obsession, and it would be a mistake to underestimate her. When someone like Christine Butcher is pushed to her limit, she may just turn out to be the most dangerous person in the room. The Secretary is a razor-sharp, twisting tale of power, obsession, obedience, and revenge.
