Description
INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
"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.

Editorial Reviews
"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
"What Have You Done? is tragic. . . . Lapena is good. Really good." —Winnipeg Free Press
"Lapena rolls out a story unique and timely in its telling. . . . 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. 'How many ways,' Diana asks after her death, 'can a girl be assaulted?' The novel's emotional heft will linger with readers. A tragic death and a slew of suspects ignite this incendiary tale." —Kirkus Reviews
“Shari Lapena is in fine form in this compelling tale of murder and intrigue, which fans of earlier books will devour. . . . Lapena really knows how to unearth the grimy underbelly of small-town America with potent results." —Bookreporter
