#WhatHaveYouDone? #NetGalley
Nothing ever happens in sleepy little Fairhill, Vermont. But this morning that will change. And one innocent question could be deadly. What have you done? 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 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.
She doesn't fall to surprise me.
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House UK Transworld Publishers Bantam for giving me an advance copy.

Oh my goodness what a read - poor Diana! Some absolutely hideously twisted characters in this book, the list of suspects for Diana's death keeps growing.
This was so well written, I like the multiple povs, means we get to see the story from differing perspectives. I wasn't sure at first about the 'ghostly' element but it actually worked really well, it helped to rely the truth of the events.
This was an excellent read, very tense with a slow unravelling of the horrific truth throughout.

Shari Lapena's books always manage to keep me hook, this book had me asking questions and who to trust and it kept me gripped right until the end.

Outstanding…
Fairhill, Vermont. A rather idyllic, sleepy place where nothing bad happens. People go about their business safe in the knowledge that they know everyone, that they are safe and cloistered in their bubble of security- but all that is about to change. Forever. A truly outstanding novel of suspense and intrigue from this accomplished author, yet again, and relayed in a present tense narrative which maintains an excruciating tension throughout. Characters are well defined and deftly drawn, the backdrop perfectly well imagined and the disturbing plot line is carefully plotted and paced to perfection. To be devoured in one tension fuelled sitting.
