What You Did

By: Claire McGowan

Narrated by: Pearl Hewitt, Karen Cass

“A brilliant, breathless thriller that kept me guessing to the last shocking page.” - Erin Kelly, Sunday Times bestselling author of He Said/She Said

An Amazon Charts and Washington Post bestseller.

It was supposed to be the perfect reunion: six university friends together again after twenty years. Host Ali finally has the life she always wanted, a career she can be proud of and a wonderful family with her college boyfriend, now husband. But that night her best friend makes an accusation so shocking that nothing will ever be the same again.

When Karen staggers in from the garden, bleeding and traumatised, she claims that she has been assaulted - by Ali’s husband, Mike. Ali must make a split-second decision: who should she believe? Her horrified husband, or her best friend? With Mike offering a very different version of events, Ali knows one of them is lying - but which? And why?

When the ensuing chaos forces her to re-examine the golden era the group shared at university, Ali realises there are darker memories too. Memories that have lain dormant for decades. Memories someone would kill to protect.

Critic reviews

“Hitting the rare sweet spot between a satisfying read and a real page turner, this brilliantly written book deserves to fly high.” (Cass Green, best-selling author of In a Cottage In a Wood)

Great Mystery!

I loved the premise and it didn’t turn out like I thought it would. I could hardly stop listening to it. It was really good!

Convoluted with plot twists and turns. Good read.

What ever you think happened is probably not what happened. Friends are often different from how we see them from the outside.

story was great

It was a captivating story line, the narrator's voice took a little getting used to. But the story was great made it hard to stop listening.

Not great, not terrible

You were reminded of certain things so many times that I almost stopped listening simply because of being bored. The main character was not particularly like able. The story was predictable.

Loved it

Not sure what the bad reviews are about, I enjoyed this book very much! Suspenseful and well written. Im going to look for more books by the author now!
