Dark domestic suspense meets haunted house horror in this unnerving adult debut guaranteed to keep you awake for days afterward, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Don’t Let the Forest In and Hazelthorn.
The walls are closing in on her perfect new life.
Single mother Elodie’s life has become a fairy tale. She’s met Bren, equal parts Golden-retriever-devoted and sinfully handsome. He’s whisked her and her autistic son, Jude, to the crumbling family house he’s renovating. She has a new husband, a new house, and a new baby on the way. Everything is perfect.
Until Jude claims he can hear voices in the walls. He says their renovations are “hurting” the house. Even Elodie can’t ignore it―something strange is going on.
The question is, Is it with the house, or with her son?
And what is Elodie hiding?

Praise for You Did Nothing Wrong
“Visceral, haunting, and blisteringly raw, You Did Nothing Wrong is a masterpiece of a gothic thriller with a keen smile and jagged teeth.”
“In this haunted house book where nothing is as it seems, CG Drews balances unflinchingly disturbing horror with deeply empathetic characterizations. ”
“Suspenseful and gripping, with ratcheting tension that crawls under your skin. You Did Nothing Wrong is a dark and terrifying look at motherhood, and Drews’s mesmerizing writing is sure to keep you hooked.”
“Vicious and claustrophobic from the first page! Drews deftly manipulates the darkest innermost desires and also my blood pressure with prose rich enough to eat. An absolute snakebite of a novel.”
“CG Drews writes monsters like no other. You Did Nothing Wrong is a brilliantly tense, paranoid, masterfully wrought house of pain where no room is ever as it seems. Reader, watch your step. I loved every second.”
“Drews’ adult debut after Don’t Let the Forest In (2024) is powerfully devilish, grabbing at readers unknowing where Elodie’s imagination starts and ends. Bloody immersive!”
“Prepare to have your heartstrings clawed at in this terrifyingly exquisite story of what lengths a parent will go to in order to protect their child from being crushed to death as the walls of their loving home close in.”
