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
