About this audiobook

The hiring of a new assistant triggers a power struggle between an aging TV show creator and her former protégée.

Rising-star showrunner Stacey McCreedy has one goal: to leave behind her nerd-girl origins and become a power player — like Ann Dalloni, her former mentor and current producing partner. Ann, meanwhile, is feeling her age and losing her mind. But she’ll be damned if she cedes control of their hit primetime TV show to Stacey.

After Ann hires Jenna, a young actress hoping to restart her stalled career, as an assistant, the relationship between Ann and Stacey deteriorates into a blood feud. Soon, Jenna must choose whom to support and whom to betray to achieve her own ends. And Stacey will find out if she possesses the killer instinct needed to stay on top.

Editor's Note

Juicy drama…

During the filming of one of TV’s hottest shows, the juiciest drama takes place behind the camera between the two producers in this cutting novel. “I want to write a suspense/noir story about the issue of tension between generations,” Moritsugu told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation about “The Showrunner.” “I find TV to be an interesting field to look at how younger people try to improve their standing in life.”

    Lots of schemes, power plays and even murder. Crazy and entertaining, but left a bit open for another book.

    funny - wicked - very "industry" and the sort of book where everyone is so badly behaved you laugh.

    This is the stupidest book I gave ever read. The first two sentences of the acknowledgements are the only worthwhile part. I wish I could give it negative stars.
