About the Book

“A haunting, razor-sharp mystery.” —Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author

This twisty and sinister thriller follows a New York art gallery assistant reckoning with her past as she is trapped in a web of deceit after an up-and-coming painter is murdered—perfect for fans of Katy Hays and Julia Bartz.

November 2001: Chloe Harlow wakes up late, with hazy memories of the party the night before but no recollection of how she got back to her Brooklyn apartment. Ever since the terrifying and catastrophic terrorist attack two months ago, she has been on a collision course with destruction.

When Chloe finally arrives at the exclusive Upper East Side art gallery where she works, she is immediately called into her boss’s office. A pair of NYPD detectives greet her, also very curious to know how her evening ended…because the host of the party, a rising painter and the gallery’s newest artist, is dead.

Navigating both the sophisticated high-stakes art world and her personal life in burgeoning Williamsburg, Chloe struggles to piece together a complete picture of that lost night. As she digs deeper, inconsistencies emerge between what she remembers and what people tell her actually happened, and more questions are raised. Everything begins to feel like a conspiracy—and maybe it is. Because Chloe is the only one who glimpses the secrets the murdered artist left behind, and the closer she gets to the truth…the more deadly it becomes.

Review :
"A haunting, razor-sharp mystery set in the charged aftermath of 9/11, Kate Belli’s THE GALLERY ASSISTANT is as intoxicating as the art world it explores. With an unforgettable protagonist and a plot that spirals into ever-deeper layers of intrigue, Belli crafts a haunting story about memory, truth, and the dangerous secrets hidden beneath the surface. A stunning work that lingers long after the final page." "A haunting, post-9/11 psychological thriller that combines the glittering facade of New York’s art world with the messy, painful aftermath of trauma." "A taut, tightly-plotted thrill ride! Belli expertly dials up the tension as readers race toward a shocking, twisty conclusion. The prose is smart, sharp and compelling; THE GALLERY ASSISTANT is not to be missed." "A fast-paced thriller set in the New York art world. THE GALLERY ASSISTANT kept me guessing until the end." "Absolutely riveting. The Gallery Assistant kept me on the edge of my seat--and up too late. Kate Belli is a master of pulse-pounding storytelling." "Fans of Paula Hawkins’s The Girl on the Train and A. J. Finn’s The Woman in the Window will find that Belli makes equally brilliant use of her own possibly unreliable narrator . . . Splendidly entertaining . . . Perfectly pairs compelling suspense with an intriguing protagonist." "A twisty, emotional mystery about grief, greed, and trauma. There are plenty of classic mystery tropes, including red herrings, to keep readers guessing until the end. For fans of Lisa Unger and Lucy Foley." "Engagingly clever." "I promise you, the twists will shock you." "A powerful, sophisticated novel of suspense . . . For fans of Katy Hays and Elizabeth Kaufman."
