Захватывающий психологический триллер. Шкафы были липкими от разлитого джема и мёда, а духовка дымилась, когда её включали, из-за жира, скопившегося за годы. Агата никогда, никогда не допустит, чтобы её будущий дом пришёл в такое состояние. Она никогда не будет оставлять его каждый день, как Рут. Она никогда не доверится чужим людям.
Рут и Кристиан с трудом держат свой брак, после катастрофической измены Кристиана год назад. Но хаос уже стучится в их двери, и когда семья внезапно остается без помощи по уходу за детьми, Агата приходит в их жизнь, чтобы решить все проблемы. Но Агата не такая уж идеальная, как кажется, а её любовь к детям скрывает более глубокую тайну.
"Всё и ничего" - потрясающий уверенный дебют, великолепно передающий атмосферу неотвратимой зловещей угрозы, которая нарастает до гипнотической кульминации в истории, которая в своей основе повествует о подавленной и искалеченной любви.
A gripping psychological suspense novel. The kitchen cupboards were sticky with spilt jam, honey and grease as the oven hissed and smoked whenever it was switched on due to fat build-up over the years, something that Agatha knew she would not tolerate in her dream home. She would not get up every morning like Ruth, slipped out of bed quietly and disappeared out of the back door, putting faith in total strangers she had never met before. Christian and Ruth were just holding their relationship together after Christian made one dreadful mistake a year earlier. And then, with no help at all, they were thrown into chaos when no one had any normality left, least of all while dealing with three energetic toddlers. Luckily, there was Agatha, an ideal solution, smiling brightly, offering her help, and perferctly charming the children, even if her genuine love masked a darker secret. Everything and Nothing by Araminta Hall is an assured debut that creates an utterly convincing atmosphere that steadily builds lines to a mind-boggling climax, in a tale that centres on thwarted, flawed love.

Описание книги от Araminta Hall
A gripping psychological suspense read.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.
