The Assistant: A Shocking Page-turner with a Surprise Ending

A double homicide. A missing masterpiece. And a Hollywood assistant who knows too much. Laney Marrs is used to cleaning up other people’s messes. As a Hollywood assistant, it’s literally her job. What she’s not used to? Waking up naked in her boss’s bed—surrounded by paparazzi—and being branded the other woman in a very public celebrity scandal. Twenty-four hours later, her boss and his famous wife are dead. Now the media wants blood. The police want answers. And someone wants Laney silenced. As the narrative spirals out of control, Laney realizes “the scandal” wasn’t an accident—it was a setup. One that ties together a botched movie premiere, shady foreign financiers, Russian operatives, and a priceless missing Fabergé egg. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes—she wasn’t just collateral damage. She was chosen. With her career destroyed, her reputation shredded, and powerful people closing in, Laney has one option—figure out who’s pulling the strings before she becomes the next casualty. Fast-paced, darkly funny, and packed with twists, The Assistant is a high-stakes thriller in the chaotic spirit of The Flight Attendant —where fame is dangerous, loyalty is disposable, and the truth can get you killed.
