Publisher Description
If you think you did something terrible? Would you tell?
I live a small life: a one-bedroom apartment, clothes that help me blend into the background, just a few friends who don’t know my whole story. Everything has to be simple, ordered, in its place.
It gives me the illusion that I’m in control. Even though I know I never can be.
Twenty years ago, I lost everyone I ever loved, and they say it was all my fault.
I’ve tried to make sure I could never hurt anyone again, but it’s hard to live any kind of life without letting anyone get close to me.
And then come the sirens; the knock at the door.
If I’d done something terrible, I would know, wouldn’t I?
An absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller that’ll keep you reading long into the night. Perfect for fans of C.L. Taylor, Teresa Driscoll and Lisa Jewell.

A chilling read
“If you did something terrible, would you tell”
When Marissa finds out that her last family member has died, she also has to confront the secret she has been hiding from for all these years. Despite the fact she sometimes has blackouts, she can not accept the idea she could have had anything to do with her uncles death. But what does it mean for her when history repeats itself, right next door…
What She Did is a compelling tale with a broken and damaged woman at the helm. It is an intense and suspenseful read, narrated over a duel timeline, providing insight into our leads horrific background and how that has defined her in the present.
Carla Kovach does a great job of setting the scene, but for me I found this to be more of a character driven tale which I enjoyed. Marissa is so complex, her mental state fragile due to the trauma she was subjected to as a child, which really pulls on the heartstrings.
At times this can be quite dark and confronting with its hard hitting themes, but they are handled as sensitively as can be without glossing over the serious nature of them. The pace is steady and the suspense is ramped up in the lead up to the finale. All up What She Did is a thrilling read with plenty of twists, turns and surprises, suited to fans of crime thrillers.
What She Did
Couldn’t put it down, surprise ending & different to all the other Murder/Drama books I’ve read.
Not as good as detective Gina
Not as good as her detective Gina books, unfortunately I just couldn’t get hooked to this one
