"A small-town murder with big truths about power and silence."
When a teenager is found strangled in a field in a small town, everyone becomes a suspect. The title’s question - What Have You Done? - could apply to many of the men in the community who have wronged the victim or others in ways both overt and insidious.
Told through multiple viewpoints - including those of the victim's ghost, the diary of her friend, the teacher she accused of sexual harassment and his fiancée, other teen almost-victims, and their parents - the narrative unfolds in a clever, layered way.
Beneath the whodunit lies a sharper commentary: how women and girls often endure inappropriate behaviour from men in their lives, how their voices are doubted, and how such acts are downplayed or excused as harmless.
Lapena weaves a suspenseful story that also reflects uncomfortable truths about complicity, silence, and the cost of being disbelieved.
