This was The Lovely Bones adjacent - but less graphic. The "ghost" of the victim is a narrator, but she doesn't really know more than the reader does; you experience the unfolding of the events with her. Lots of twists and turns throughout with a few rabbit holes explored, but ultimately some of the narrative hints at who may be behind the murder all along. There were a few too many streams of consciousness/characters narrating for my liking, and it took a minute to catch all. All around a good listen, but What Have You Done? didn't blow me away.

I sped through this because I HAD to know. The twist was kind of predictable but mostly because I’ve read most of her books so it’s pretty common for someone unsuspecting to be the killer/bad guy but I was thinking it was a different person mostly because the others were too obvious. It’s too difficult to say much more but it was pretty good! I liked the ghost Diana aspect, that was new!

It had a great premise and was very interesting, but there were too many characters and too many plot lines that didn’t go anywhere.
