Praise

Praise for What Have You Done?:

“A brilliant thriller.”
—Cara Hunter, New York Times bestselling author of Murder in the Family
 
“I inhaled this book. Lapena can always be relied on for great plotting, characterization and structure, and What Have You Done? exceeded all expectations. Entertaining and enjoyable as ever, a total  pleasure.”
—Liz Nugent, bestselling author of Strange Sally Diamond

“Incredible atmosphere, breathless pace, and perfect plot. . . the queen of the one-sitting read has done it again. I adored What Have You Done—the inimitable Shari Lapena is at the top of her game!”
—Andrea Mara, international bestselling author of No One Saw a Thing

“Shari Lapena knows how to pull you in with a title: Everyone Here Is Lying, Not A Happy Family and now, What Have You Done? Pages will turn when a small community is upended by the murder of a girl in once-sleepy, now tense Fairhill, Vermont.”
Parade

“Lapena is a master of suspense, and she doesn’t disappoint here. Her many fans and those who enjoy domestic suspense, small-town crimes, and twisty thrillers will flock to this one. Very highly recommended.”
Library Journal (starred review)

“What Have You Done? is a masterpiece of human emotion that compassionately engages with all its subjects even as it makes no excuses for terrible behavior.”
Criminal Element

“Lapena rolls out a story unique and timely in its telling . . . astutely observed . . . As much a commentary on how women’s concerns and accusations are often dismissed as it is an intense crime story, Lapena’s novel excavates the ways so-called responsible adults don’t do enough—a crime in itself—to keep young women like Diana safe . . . The novel’s emotional heft will linger with readers. A tragic death and a slew of suspects ignite this incendiary tale.”
Kirkus

“Captivating. . . What begins as a straightforward mystery gradually blooms into a portrait of a community coming apart at the seams.” 
Publishers Weekly

“Lapena does a great job of showing how thin the line is between wanting the truth and wanting to protect those we love, no matter the cost. If you enjoy small-town murder mysteries, you should read this book.”
San Francisco Book Review

Praise for Everyone Here Is Lying:

“Shari Lapena has proved herself a master of twisty domestic thrillers, and her latest is no exception . . . You may think you have it figured out multiple times throughout the story, but the true final twist doesn’t come until the last page.”
—Glamour.com

“Shari Lapena is rapidly becoming an international phenomenon. . . Everyone Here Is Lying is the best of her seven works. It begins with a bang and ends with a twist no one will guess. In between, there are clues, lies, intrigue and a lot of well-drawn characters doing nasty things.”
—The Globe and Mail

“A safe neighborhood, a missing child, and a whole host of parents protecting children, wives protecting husbands, and nefarious and shady characters hiding in plain sight. I loved it!”
—CrimeReads

“I devoured Everyone Here Is Lying in under ten hours. The most addictive book I’ve read in ages–so slick and disquieting and clever. Just brilliant.”
—Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Family Remains

“I read Everyone Here Is Lying in a single day–her best book yet, hands down.”
—John Boyne, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All the Broken Places

“Gripping, clever, and tightly plotted, Everyone Here Is Lying showcases Shari Lapena at her absolute best. I was utterly transfixed. A must-read.”
—Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author of The Sanatorium

Praise for Not a Happy Family:

“Who wouldn’t be drawn to a book called Not a Happy Family?  . . . Like [her] earlier best sellers. . . Not a Happy Family splashes into a stew of nightmares.”
—The New York Times

“Lapena is a master of manipulation. With her latest page-turning thriller, . . . she is once again at the top of her game. . . Lapena does what she does best, so much so that trying to put the book down is futile. Once you start reading, you won’t want to stop.”
—USA Today

“A quintessential ‘beach read,’ I half expected sand to fall out of it. This one brings lurid family mayhem to the Hudson Valley [and] plausible suspects. With her cascading short chapters and teasers by the dozen, you stick with Lapena eagerly.”
—The Washington Post

“In this fast-paced, twisted family saga, Shari Lapena keeps you guessing until the very last page…”
—Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train

“Another edge-of-the-seat ride that left me breathless.”
—Fiona Barton, The Suspect
