Tense chilling unputdownable. Perfect for those who love a well written thriller.#netgalley #littlebrownuk.

Really enjoyed this. A very easy read which sucked me in and spat me out a day later. An ideal summer read for those who don’t do romance books.

I have a real love of school based books, and this one certainly didn’t disappoint. Highly recommended.

I loved Zoe Lea's book If He Wakes, it was one of my favourite reads of 2018 so i was really pleased to be able to read an ARC of The Secretary.
Straight away I was drawn in by Ruth and her son, really feeling for her in the situation she found herself in with Rob and his wife and what she would do next. I found myself wanting to scream at some of the staff and parents at the school, that's how the book gets you! I loved it.
Guess I've just got to wait now for the next one by this author!

Loved this book it’s one to keep you reading to the end definitely not one you can put down once you have started it

2.5 out of 5. The Secretary has a great start petty school dramas are my guilty pleasure so add in some thrills and you’ve got a winner! So why 2.5? It all goes downhill from the middle, it drags on a little too long and there’s one comment regarding footwear that makes it obvious who the bad guy is and I became distracted after that.

The first half is amazing and if that suspense was kept up all the way this would be a clear 5 out of 5.

A real and compelling story of the politics of the school playground. Any mother will relate to this story. I felt so sorry for the main character Ruth and was really rooting for her throughout. An interesting and fun story xx

Gripping, taught and twisty! I devoured this in less than a day! Well worth a read if you like thrillers.
