A relentless and disturbing haunted house horror for fans of PLAY NICE and WITCHCRAFT FOR WAYWARD GIRLS, by No.1 New York Times bestselling author CG Drews.
'Visceral, haunting, and blisteringly raw' – AVA REID
'Suspenseful and gripping, with ratcheting tension that crawls under your skin' – MONIKA KIM
The walls are closing in on her perfect new life.
Single mother Elodie’s life has become a fairy tale. She’s met Bren, equal parts golden-retriever devoted and sinfully handsome. He’s whisked her and her autistic son, Jude, to the crumbling family house he’s renovating. She has a new husband, a new house, and a new baby on the way. Everything is perfect.
Then Jude claims he can hear voices in the walls. He says their renovations are 'hurting' the house. Even Elodie can’t ignore it–something strange is going on. The question is, is it with the house, or with her son? Then the one secret Elodie has been hiding is revealed, and no one is safe anymore.
A pulse-pounding, clever take on the haunted house novel, YOU DID NOTHING WRONG examines the complexities of motherhood and the twisted bonds of family.
