“Lapena is a master of manipulation.”
—USA Today
Another knockout domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door
Nothing ever happens in sleepy little Fairhill, Vermont.
The teenagers get their kicks telling ghost stories in the old graveyard. The parents trust their kids will arrive home safe from school. Everyone knows everyone. Curtains rarely twitch. Front doors are left unlocked.
But this morning all of that will change.
Because Diana Brewer isn’t lying safely in her bed where she belongs. Instead she lies in a hayfield, circled by vultures, discovered by a local farmer.
How quickly a girl becomes a ghost. How quickly a town of friendly, familiar faces becomes a town of suspects, a place of fear and paranoia.
Someone in Fairhill did this. Everyone wants answers.
And one innocent question could be deadly.
Praise
“A brilliant thriller.”
—Cara Hunter, New York Times bestselling author of Murder in the Family
“I inhaled this book. Lapena can always be relied on for great plotting, characterization and structure, and What Have You Done? exceeded all expectations. Entertaining and enjoyable as ever, a total pleasure.”
—Liz Nugent, bestselling author of Strange Sally Diamond
“Incredible atmosphere, breathless pace, and perfect plot. . . the queen of the one-sitting read has done it again. I adored What Have You Done—the inimitable Shari Lapena is at the top of her game!”
—Andrea Mara, international bestselling author of No One Saw a Thing
“Lapena is a master of suspense, and she doesn’t disappoint here. Her many fans and those who enjoy domestic suspense, small-town crimes, and twisty thrillers will flock to this one. Very highly recommended.”
—Library Journal(starred review)
“Lapena rolls out a story unique and timely in its telling . . . astutely observed . . . As much a commentary on how women’s concerns and accusations are often dismissed as it is an intense crime story, Lapena’s novel excavates the ways so-called responsible adults don’t do enough—a crime in itself—to keep young women like Diana safe . . . The novel’s emotional heft will linger with readers. A tragic death and a slew of suspects ignite this incendiary tale.”
—Kirkus
“Captivating. . . What begins as a straightforward mystery gradually blooms into a portrait of a community coming apart at the seams.”
–Publishers Weekly
