What Have You Done? A Novel

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Shari Lapena, the master of domestic suspense who gave us The Couple Next Door, returns with a chilling tale that transforms a quiet Vermont town into a landscape of secrets and suspicion.

Fairhill, Vermont is the kind of place where everyone knows everyone—where front doors stay unlocked and parents sleep soundly, trusting their children are safe. But when teenager Diana Brewer is discovered in a hayfield, circled by vultures, everything changes. One innocent question echoes through the town: What have you done?

This is Lapena at her finest—dark, twisty, and utterly unputdownable. She peels back the layers of small-town life to reveal the paranoia lurking beneath friendly faces. How quickly neighbors become suspects. How quickly trust turns to fear.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Psychological thrillers that keep you guessing
• Small-town mysteries with big secrets
• Atmospheric suspense you can’t put down
• Stories that explore the darkness beneath everyday life

USA Today calls Lapena “a master of manipulation,” and this novel proves why she’s earned that reputation. It’s the kind of book you’ll want to discuss with fellow readers—ideally over coffee in our cozy shop, where the only mysteries are which book to buy next.

If you’re looking for a thriller that will keep you turning pages late into the night while the ocean wind rattles the windows, this is your next read.
