'Clever, contemporary, and a masterclass in slow-burn tension. LOVED it' Caz Frear
'So clever and absorbing. I couldn't stop turning the pages' Laura Marshall
'A skilfully wrought tale of rivalry and revenge that will tear your loyalties to shreds. Kate Ruby captures the culture of the modern work place in devastating – and darkly comic – detail. I absolutely loved it' Louise Candlish The perfect assistant is not all she seemsin this gripping suspense thriller from the author of the Richard & Judy pick Tell Me Your Lies. Sasha Fulton looks like she has it all–the glittering media career, the happy marriage, the perfect kids. But the truth behind the shining façade is very different. The job is nothing but pressure, and the stroppy teens aren't even hers. She's fast reaching breaking point. When Sasha's new twenty-something assistant Jenna walks through the door, she seems like the answer to her prayers. Dazzlingly efficient, with a whip-smart wit, Sasha's soon wondering how she ever lived without her. But with trouble mounting at home and at work, Sasha is starting to lose control. As the lines between professional and personal become dangerously blurred, she feels like there's only one person she can rely on. Sasha is heading for a fall. But is Jenna there to catch her, or to push her over the edge? PRAISE FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE: 'A tense, queasy page-turner that leaves you second-guessing right up until the final pulse-pounding pages' Ellery Lloyd 'The characters feel so real in this taut, assured novel which tightens like a trap' Claire McGowan 'Rapid pace and pitch-perfect dialogue! Kate writes about obsession, jealousy, and madness with consummate skill' Kate Rhodes 'I really enjoyed this. A gripping psychological drama, it is also a smart and tense deconstruction of the brutal world of PR and advertising and the toll it takes on those involved in it. And the dissection of class and style is so cleverly done – the details are spot on' Julia Crouch 'A taut, meaty thriller that will have you holding your breath until the very last page' Celia Walden 'Super smart and compelling' ? Fabulous 'A must read' Bella 'Gripping... will leave you second guessing right to the final page' That's Life Crime Special 'Thrilling' Crime Monthly 'A must read' Heat 'It left me second guessing right to the end' Kathy George, Yours
