About this listen

Named a Most Anticipated Read of 2024 by Zibby Media ∙ Jordy’s Book Club ∙ Novel Suspects ∙ The Nerd Daily ∙ Pure Wow ∙ She Reads ∙ and more!

Offered a dream job in Hollywood with a famous director and his actress wife, an insecure woman becomes their personal assistant where their secrets and lies place her in the crosshairs of a murder investigation.

Cassidy Foster is heartbroken, stuck in life, and getting a little too obsessed with plants. Then when a well-connected friend becomes sick of Cassidy’s moping and gets her a gig with famous Hollywood couple, Marisol and Nate Sterling, Cassidy jumps at the chance to move to sunny LA.

The Sterlings are warm and welcoming. A perfect couple. All Cassidy has to do is be available a few hours a week for errands. In return, she has access to luxury: Designer clothes. A sparkling pool. Great pay.

When Nate takes interest in her, asking her to read scripts he’s written, Cassidy thinks this could be the key to kickstarting her writing dreams. As their business relationship grows, so does their attraction. Nate is sexy and talented, and Cassidy can’t believe her luck. Clearly, Marisol doesn’t know what she has. Maybe that’s why the two are always fighting when they think Cassidy isn’t around.

But Cassidy learns she was hired for a different purpose. The Sterlings aren’t the perfect couple. Marisol isn’t the perfect wife. And when one of them is found dead, Cassidy becomes the perfect suspect.

Critic reviews

"The Hollywood Assistant is as fun and as fresh as its title—and fast: think Frieda McFadden’s The Housemaid—but sharp, too, and provocative, with a subtly retro attitude that recalls 80s cinema classics. I've said it before and I'll say it again: May Cobb writes suspense you can mainline."—A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window

The Hollywood Assistant by May Cobb is the best kind of stay-up-all-night-page-turner: wickedly creepy, steamy, and intense. Expertly plotted and brimming with dark surprises, The Hollywood Assistant is classic Cobb. I was absolutely transfixed. Don't miss this knock-out thrill ride.“—Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times bestselling author of The Overnight Guest

"May Cobb pulls back the curtain on Hollywood glamor in a sexy, twisty mystery that will have readers guessing (and gasping) until the very last page."—Robyn Harding, internationally bestselling author of The Drowning Woman

The overall story was good. I listened to the book in one day. I found the main character annoying and thought the ending was okay. But I did enjoy the book.

Kept me entertained
