A gripping psychological suspense read A family near breaking point hire a nanny with secrets of her own in this gripping novel from an exciting talent. Cupboards were sticky from spilt jam and honey, and the oven smoked when you turned it on because of the fat that had built up over the years. Agatha would never, ever let her future home end up like this. She would never leave it every day like Ruth did. She would never put her trust in strangers. Ruth and Christian are – just – holding their marriage together, after Christian's disastrous affair a year ago. But chaos beckons, and when the family are suddenly left without any childcare, Agatha comes into their lives to solve all their problems. But Agatha is not as perfect as she seems and her love for the children masks a deeper secret.Everything and Nothing is a stunningly assured debut, superbly evoking an atmosphere of inexorable and sinister menace that builds to a mesmerising climax in a story that is, at its heart, about thwarted and damaged love.–––––––––––––––-‘An assured debut takes the Mary Poppins myth and turns it into a menacing tale of the enemy invited in… I suspect that this will be the first of what promises to be a new genre: the nanny chiller’ Sunday Times‘Chilling and suspenseful’ The Sun‘An unsettling, menacing read’ Grazia‘A suspenseful and emotive examination of a family in meltdown…Hall’s tale is told assuredly and touches on the darkness, tensions and unhappiness behind the facade of daily family life. It’s a skilfully executed debut novel that nestles perfectly alongside the dark, nuanced psychological thrills of Daphne du Maurier and Sophie Hannah’ Waterstones Books Quarterly‘Everything and Nothing is a beautifully written, completely gripping novel that plays on the unsettling notion that sometimes the least safe place is your very own home' Emily Mortimer

From the author of Imperfect Women, a propulsive psychological drama about a young woman swept into a deranged world of power, sex, and violence while spending a summer working for a famous writer.How far would you go to take back the story of your life? When 23-year-old Hope Jenkins applied for an apprenticeship with the award-winning and influential writer Mr. Rosie Glencourt, she never thought she’d actually get it. Eager and bright-eyed, Hope arrives at Shadowlands, Rosie’s eerie, otherworldly mansion, ready for the summer that will change her life. And it does—just not in the way she wanted. Shadowlands is unlike any home Hope has ever known, ruled by secrets and desire. Transfixed by the seductive lives of Rosie and his enigmatic wife, Delia, and increasingly enamored with a young man, Tom, who lives on the sprawling property, Hope soon realizes she’s willing to do anything to secure her place among them. Instead she is ousted, forced to leave Shadowlands with a broken heart and blood on her hands. Ten years later, Hope is living in self-imposed exile. She has no family, no friends, no future. But when she picks up Rosie’s newest novel, a runaway bestseller titled The Ruined Girl, she discovers it’s an almost exact retelling of her story: the work, the sex, the gunshot that ended it all. It is everything Hope swore to keep hidden, dragged out onto center stage. And it’s made Rosie more famous than ever. Propulsive, riveting, and surprisingly tender, Unreliable Narrator explores ambition, revenge, and the lies we tell ourselves.
