About this audiobook
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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I went into this expecting a slower thriller, so I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of the characters and the suspense that built throughout. This is certainly longer than it needs to be, but the characters are very well developed here so it pays off.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a good debut from K.T. Nguyen. I liked the mystery and wanted to know what was happening with Annie. But her OCD and her relationship with her mother made me so uncomfortable - she was such an unreliable narrator. It was a little slow at times and wrapped up a little too neatly. But overall it was well written and I look forward to reading more from the author. Thanks to NetGalley for the digital ARC.
