A dark, razor-sharp new thriller from the author of That Woman and Such a Good Mother.
April Eden is about to have the night of her life. The Vanished Woman, the film she wrote and directed is up for a raft of major awards. And her leading lady, Essie Lay, is on the cusp of a stunning comeback after a disturbing scandal ended her small-screen career a year before.


When Essie messages April to say she can’t face the ceremony, April presumes nerves and goes to her Hampstead mansion to persuade her to attend. Instead, she finds Essie dead in her swimming pool.


In that moment, April makes an agonising decision, one that will force her onto a disturbing course of action. To find out the truth about Essie’s death, she needs to discover the identity of the person now trying to frame her for murder and face up to the unsettling truth of the kind of person she really is.



Nothing Without Me examines the high cost of fame, the unliveable pressures of being the woman everyone wants to be, and just how far we’ll go for our truth to be heard.
