About this listen

What would you do if your home assistant turned evil?

She’s in your house. She controls your life. Now she’s going to destroy it.

From the number-one Sunday Times best seller.

She watches you constantly.

Newly divorced Jo is delighted to move into her best friend’s spare room almost rent-free. The high-tech luxury Camden flat is managed by a meticulous home assistant, called Electra, that takes care of the heating, the lights - and sometimes Jo even turns to her for company.

She knows all your secrets.

Until, late one night, Electra says one sentence that rips Jo’s fragile world in two: ‘I know what you did’. And Jo is horrified. Because in her past she did do something terrible. Something unforgivable.

Now she wants to destroy you.

Only two other people in the whole world know Jo’s secret. And they would never tell anyone. Would they? As a fierce winter brings London to a standstill, Jo begins to understand that the assistant on the shelf doesn’t just want to control Jo; it wants to destroy her.

This edition includes an exclusive interview with S.K. Tremayne, discussing audiobooks, his writing style, the genesis of his chilling idea for The Assistant, and more.

This book isn't what were used to at all. Takes a little while to get into but has lots of twists and turns. You feel desperately sorry for Jo, the main character when she thinks she's gone mad when technology takes over. No-one believes her when she asks for help from her so called friend's. Didn't expect the end at all. All in all, I enjoyed this book, when is the next one coming?? : D

Not what we're used to.

Overall I enjoyed this book and was hooked on the ‘who dunnit’ aspect! I did find myself rolling my eyes a few times when Jo allowed herself to be blackmailed! Either she had a mental illness or she didn’t..you can’t just switch them on and off!
However despite most of the characters seeming to be completely self absorbed and obnoxious I still listened to the end!

This kept me engaged. Listened in 2 days on and off. Story was spine tingling in places and makes you think. The narration was great too. Another author to follow. I’ve lined up 2 more audiobooks by this author waiting in my library to listen to. Really pleased I discovered this one.

My first title by this author and it won’t be my last. Really liked this audiobook. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 stars without a doubt!
