You Know What You Did

A Novel

De: K. T. Nguyen

Narrado por: Kim Mai Guest

In this heart-pounding debut thriller for fans of Lisa Jewell and Celeste Ng, a first-generation Vietnamese American artist must confront nightmares past and present. . . .

Annie “Anh Le” Shaw grew up poor, but seems to have it all now: a dream career, a stunning home, and a devoted husband and daughter. When Annie’s mother, a Vietnam War refugee, dies suddenly one night, Annie’s carefully curated life begins to unravel. Her obsessive-compulsive disorder, which she thought she’d vanquished years ago, comes roaring back—but this time, the disturbing fixations swirling around in Annie’s brain might actually be coming true.

A prominent art patron disappears, and the investigation zeroes in on Annie. Spiraling with self-doubt, she distances herself from her family and friends, only to wake up in a hotel room—naked, next to a lifeless body. The police have more questions, but with her mind increasingly fractured, Annie doesn’t have answers. All she knows is this: She will do anything to protect her daughter—even if it means losing herself.

With dizzying twists, You Know What You Did is both a harrowing thriller and a heartfelt exploration of the refugee experience, the legacies we leave for our children, and the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters.

Great storyline, great narrator!

The protagonist, a compelling artist suffering from severe OCD, is forced to go over and over the events in her life. Always questioning herself…did I say that, think that, do that? And we question with her. The title is rife with irony. A really good first novel with a 5-star narrator. Kim Mai Guest is in perfect harmony with the beautifully written words of Nguyen. I look forward to more from these two artists!

Great Plot Twist

A great, easy listen. Good plot, great narration. First time in a long time that I hadn't guessed the ending before it arrived. 

Wheres the story?

25 chapters in and nothing has happend. I find the main character Annie is whiney and annoying. I would love to quite listening now, it's not like I will miss anything but I will keep going. Maybe it will pick up?

Rooting for Annie

Found myself rooting for Annie the whole time, even through her darkest moments. That's the sign of a well written character!

Dark psychological suspense

Emotional psychological suspense/slow burn thriller. Intricate plot and compelling portrayal of OCD. Highly recommend!
