Summary

A dark, razor-sharp 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. Her leading lady, Essie Lay, is on the cusp of a stunning comeback after the disturbing scandal that 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, April finds Essie dead in her swimming pool.

In that moment, April makes an agonising decision, which will force her onto a course of action she couldn’t have imagined. If she is to find out what happened – and protect her own freedom – April is going to find herself face to face with some of the most powerful people in her industry, unforeseen dangers, and discomfiting truths from Essie’s and her own past.

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.

Critic reviews

‘Terrific. . .An absolute humdinger of a thriller!’
Gytha Lodge, author of A Killer in the Family

‘Expertly plotted and pulsing with suspense, Nothing Without Me plunges readers into the cutthroat world of Hollywood, peeling back the veneer of celebrity and deftly exposing the dark side of fame and ruthless ambition. A twisty and timely read, it kept me guessing right up to the jaw-dropping end’ Lindsay Cameron, author of No One Needs to Know

‘A pulse-pounding rollercoaster through the shadows of the silver screen, Nothing Without Me will leave you questioning the true nature of celebrity and the devastating sacrifices women are forced to make to stay in the spotlight’s glow. Helen Monks Takhar lays bare the dark side of Hollywood glitz and glamour in this chilling and intoxicating mystery’ Jaclyn Goldis, author of The Chateau
