Rezensionen

'An assured debut takes the Mary Poppins myth and turns it into a menacing tale of the enemy invited in... Araminta Hall has turned the perfect nanny trope into something much more disturbing. Imagine a mash-up of Mary Poppins with Stephen King and you get the general idea... What makes this smartly written first novel so disturbing is its moral ambiguity; Hall keeps us engaged with all the characters, even the duplicitous Agatha, right up until the end. 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's 'Best of 2011' book picks

'An unsettling, menacing read' Grazia, 2011 Reading List selection

'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
