Nobody But Us

A sharp, dark and twisty debut thriller from an electrifying new voice

  • Laure Van Rensburg



My Dark Vanessa meets Gone Girl in this provocative, twisty debut thriller from a stylish new voice

Steven Harding is a handsome, well-respected professor.
Ellie Matthews is a wide-eyed young college student.

Together, they are driving north from New York, for their first holiday together: three days in an isolated cabin, far from the city. Ahead of them, the promise of long, dark nights - and the chance to explore one another's bodies properly, away from prying eyes.

It should be a perfect, romantic trip for two.

Except that he's not who he says he is.

But then again, neither is she...

Praise for Nobody But Us

Nobody But Us is unapologetically brutal, clever and raw: a psychological thriller that stabs a razor-sharp knife into the bruising issue of consent (and - for good measure - gives it a twist) while pursuing a page-turning game of cat-and-mouse in the most evocative of settings

PHILIPPA EAST, author of Little White Lies

A propulsive thriller that is atmospheric and haunting, with so many twists that it left me breathless. At the core of the story is a rage-fuelled message, a cry of fury that demands to be heard. A triumph of a novel

JESSE Q. SUTANTO, author of Dial A For Aunties

Brutal, tense, and utterly compelling, Laure Van Rensburg is an electrifying new voice
