Review: After All I've Done - Mina Hardy - November 2020

Writing as Mina Hardy, New York Times bestselling author Megan Hart delivers a gripping psychological thriller that will have readers questioning everything they think they know.

Diana Sparrow’s life has been turned upside down. Five months ago, she suffered a terrible accident, leaving her with serious injuries and a foggy memory of the months leading up to the crash. But as she struggles to regain a sense of normalcy, disturbing nightmares begin to plague her—dreams so vivid that she starts to believe they may be memories. What if she didn’t simply lose control of her car that night? What if she hit something—or someone?

With no one to confide in, Diana finds herself increasingly isolated. Her former best friend Val, who should have been a source of support, has been having an affair with Diana’s husband Jonathan. The betrayal cuts deep, leaving Diana vulnerable and searching for solace elsewhere. Enter Cole Pelham, a newcomer who provides an unexpected comfort. Yet, as Diana draws closer to him, the pieces of her fragmented memory start to fit together in ways she never expected—leading her to question his role in the events of that fateful night. As she digs deeper, she realizes that nearly everyone in her life may be entangled in the web of secrets surrounding her.

Mina Hardy masterfully builds suspense, keeping the reader engaged as Diana’s paranoia grows. The novel expertly plays with unreliable narration, making it impossible to know whether Diana’s fears are valid or a product of her damaged mind. Every interaction is laced with tension, every character a potential suspect, and every revelation more unsettling than the last. The themes in this book—amnesia, dark family secrets, adoption, and even incest—add a chilling layer to the story, making it a disturbing yet impossible-to-put-down read.

If you love books filled with twists, betrayals, and shocking secrets, this one deserves a place on your shelf.
