About this book

Book Summary

Writing as Mina Hardy, New York Times bestselling author Megan Hart delivers a thrilling new psychological suspense for fans of The Woman in the Window and When the Lights Go Out.

She's lost her best friend, her husband--and possibly, her mind.

Five months ago, an accident left Diana Sparrow badly injured and missing a few months of her memory. As if that's not enough, she's started having recurring nightmares about the night of the accident. Dreams that feel so real, she's left questioning: maybe she didn't just slide off the road into a ditch. Maybe, just maybe, she hit something. Or someone.

She can't turn to her former best friend Val, who's been sleeping with Diana's husband Jonathan for months, but she might find some comfort in newcomer Cole Pelham. Yet the closer they become, the more Diana begins to wonder what really happened that night--and how Cole might be connected. Worse, it seems everyone else could be involved, too.

Who was with her that night? What really happened? As her life unravels thread by thread and the dreams become too real to ignore, Diana will have to face the unthinkable--and do the unforgivable.

Media Reviews

"[An] expert nightmare...One of those rare thrillers whose answers are even more scarifying than its mysteries." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"[A] twisty psychological thriller...Hardy does an expert job keeping the emotional heat high." - Publishers Weekly

"A perfectly twisted tale of love, betrayal, and the hopes and heartbreaks of friendship. A modern-day Gaslight that I couldn't put down. Mina Hardy knows exactly how to turn the screws tighter in this story of sharp-edged bonds of friendship with her new thriller, After All I've Done. I loved every moment of dark hope and shimmering suspense." - Victoria Helen Stone, bestselling author of Jane Doe

"After All I've Done will keep readers guessing to the very end, as heroes and villains blur, as love and hate switch places. A great read!" - Susan Crawford, author of The Pocket Wife and The Other Widow

"Twisty and unexpected fun, a psychological thriller about betrayal and friendship that makes you wonder what's real and what's not." - Darby Kane, author of Pretty Little Wife
