 A riveting mystery and poignant exploration of guilt, loss and devastation.
A murdered girl. A convicted killer. Justice served…

Or is it?

It’s been fourteen years since Greer’s older sister Eliza was murdered. Her family has never been the same. Nor has the small town of Ludlow.

The killer was convicted and executed but another body has been found.

A copycat, according to the authorities, but Greer is convinced there is more to the story.

A twisty thriller from the beloved author of The Familiar Dark, in which a woman returns to the town where her sister was murdered and finds a presumed copycat on the loose

It’s been fourteen years since Greer Dunning’s older sister, Eliza, was murdered, and Greer’s family has never been the same. And now there's been a similar killing in Greer’s small Kansas hometown, Ludlow, after the execution of the convicted killer. A copycat, according to the authorities, but Greer is convinced there is more to the story. That Eliza’s murderer had help all those years ago.

So Greer returns to Ludlow after more than a decade away, desperate to find answers to the questions that have haunted her for years. Her drive to uncover the truth pushes her to form a bond with the unlikeliest of allies.

At once a riveting mystery and a deep exploration of guilt, loss, and the ways in which a violent murder transforms both the family of the victim and the family of the killer, I Did It For You will keep readers captivated through the very last page.

And she is returning to Ludlow in search of the truth.

The story was really well thought out… I loved the character development of Greer and you could really feel her pain over her sisters death but also the part she thought she played…and the events that led right up to the ending. It was edge of my seat there for a bit.

Overall: would I recommend this… damn right I would. Go out and read it and then read her other books (mind your trigger warnings though). The Roanoke Girlswill continue to be my favourite from this author but I do recommend this, I loved it and I wish I could read it again for the first time already!!!
