A mother who can’t trust her own mind. A daughter raised on a lie.

When Charlotte moves to New Zealand with her new husband, she leaves everything she knows behind. Pregnant and increasingly isolated, she begins experiencing strange gaps in her memory. Conversations seem to have happened that she can’t recall. Things aren’t where she left them.

Charlotte fears there may be something seriously wrong with her. And if she can’t trust her own mind, how can she be trusted to protect her own child?

But is Charlotte’s mind playing tricks on her—or is someone else?

Decades later, Charlotte’s daughter Sophie receives a message from a stranger claiming to have been her mother’s closest friend. As Sophie starts digging into the past, everything she thought she knew about her family unravels.

Emotionally gripping and compulsively readable, What Happened to Charlotte is a twisty domestic thriller about the fragility of memory, the fierce pull of maternal love, and family secrets that refuse to stay buried. Perfect for fans of B.A. Paris and Lisa Jewell.
