I Know What You’ve Done is my first book by Dorothy. I feel privileged in the fact that I was able to read it with The Pigeonhole - an online book club that allows you to comment on the book as you read. Oftentimes the author joins in and comments on our comments and Dorothy graced us with her presence and it was delightful.
As a new reader to Dorothy’s work I do have to mention that I was immediately drawn in by her writing style; descriptive, emotive and perfectly paced.
I found the characters in this story intriguing. The ones to like were likeable and the ones to dislike were detestable. And some were shocking; literally!
As a survivor of domestic violence I did find some bits difficult to read. Credit to Dorothy for writing those bits so accurately. There are other triggers too but I suppose any thriller reader would expect them.
As for the plot… oh my goodness! What a wonderful tangled web of lies, deceit and corruption. I loved every minute of it.
I told Dorothy I’m now a fan and I truly mean that. I will not pass up the opportunity to read her other books. Most likely, I will seek them out. I suggest you do as well.

Dorothy never fails to deliver!
Excellent thriller from one of my favourite authors. Well written and excellent use of suspense !!! A few twists I didn't expect. Well worth the read!

Nice trashy drama/chic lit mashup. Few twists, kept me hooked.

I found this slow and underwhelming. The book was split into parts but I don’t understand the relevance of this - it could have been left as chapters and would have been fine. Didn’t enjoy!

This is a book about neighbours who live in a nice complex in Brighton.. The book makes a start when one of the residents (Priscilla) comes to another resident’s (Rae) door injured and hands her her diary, claiming “i know what you’ve done”. She then runs back out of the door and collapses and is taken by ambulance to hospital.
We have Rae and her husband Clark, Dunstan, a single man working as a policeman and Bryony who is married to Grayson (a nasty, cruel man) who loves controlling his wife and children. We also have Lilly who lived in Italy for a number of years by is back in Brighton to live.
This domestic noir hooked me in straight from the start and there are so many unanswered questions which throughout the book you are slowly drip fed details.
From a multi-character perspective you learn more about each of the main characters and slowly build up an understanding of what each knows..
I enjoyed this read, I haven’t read anything by this author before but as book that provides suspense and guilt and fear then i kept me turning the pages.
4 star - a great read and I will be looking for other books by this author.
Thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for a copy of this book in return for an honest review.
