She Who Was No More is a psychological suspense novel by the writing team of Boileau-Narcejac, originally published in French as Celle qui n'était plus in 1952. The duo's first book, it is a thriller about a man who, along with his mistress, murders his wife. It served as the basis for Henri-Georges Clouzot's 1955 film Les Diaboliques.
The first French edition was published in 1952 by Éditions Denoël.[1] It was originally published in English in 1954 under the title The Woman Who Was No More by Rinehart[2] and as The Fiends by Arrow Books in 1957.[3] The English version by Pushkin Press, under the title She Who Was No More, used the old translation by Geoffrey Sainsbury.[4][5]
