House of Glass

by Sarah Pekkanen

[Quirky Cat]

Book Summary:

Stella Hudson is a specialized attorney. It’s her job to step in and help ensure that the court of law makes the best decision for children, typically in instances where it is anything but clear. As a rule, Stella doesn’t work with children under a certain age (for her own mental health).

However, she’s made an exception, bringing her to Rose Barclay’s house. Her nanny recently died (possibly of murder), and her parents are divorcing. Both parents want full custody, and little Rose has refused to speak a word, making it impossible to ask what she wants.

My Review:

I knew right away that Sarah Pekkanen would deliver another amazing thriller, and I wasn’t wrong. House of Glass is twisted and compelling in the best ways, and I absolutely devoured this book (one sitting).

I loved this book because it was quite challenging to uncover what was truly going on. Was it a stereotypical case of the husband committing the crime, or was it the upset wife? And then there’s a worse, third option - the little girl.

Each chapter had me leaning in another direction right up until nearly the end. All the twists and additional complications did a great job of keeping me guessing (while still making it possible to see the truth; I love it).

House of Glass is worth the read, especially if you enjoy twisty psychological thrillers and vast amounts of uncertainty.
