Reading 'What Have You Done' by Shari Lapena was a thrilling experience that kept me hooked from start to finish. The unique narrative choice to include Diana Brewer's ghost as a viewpoint added a chilling yet compelling layer to the story, making it more than just a typical murder mystery. Living in a small town myself, I found the setting particularly relatable; the close-knit community dynamic where everyone knows each other's business contributed to the tension and suspicion in the story. The portrayal of the characters, especially Diana’s controlling boyfriend and other adults in town, was realistic and brought an authentic feel of suspicion and hidden secrets. What stood out was how quickly I could get through the book due to its engaging pace, yet the storyline never felt rushed or lacking depth. I appreciated how the author balanced suspense with character development, creating a story that invites readers to piece together clues alongside the ghost protagonist. If you enjoy thriller books that combine supernatural elements with classic whodunits set in atmospheric locations, this book is definitely one to add to your reading list. Plus, it’s perfect for readers who enjoy quick but satisfying reads that leave you wanting to talk about the plot and twists afterward. Overall, 'What Have You Done' offers an exciting blend of suspense, mystery, and a touch of the paranormal. It’s a testament to Shari Lapena’s storytelling skill that I’m eager to explore more of her work. This book definitely belongs on every thriller lover’s bookshelf.
