I always look forward to a new book by this author and House of Glass is my favorite by far! Excellent writing as your drawn into the story!
I couldn't stop reading,it! This is more of a domestic suspense book which I liked!
I recommend this book to everyone who likes a good read!

I am a big fan of Pekkanen’s work and she has another hit on her hands with “House of Glass.” From childhood trauma to a creepy kid to rich but deeply damaged parents to an overbearing grandma, a dead nanny, and oh, yeah, a house that doesn’t contain one shard of glass, this thriller keeps the reader engaged and guessing. It is fast paced with enough details given early on to let the reader in while still allowing for surprises at the end. Personally, I didn’t feel a real connection to Stella so for that reason I didn’t enjoy this one as much as her last (“Gone Tonight”) in which I immediately liked both main characters. Still, I read the book quickly and kept wanting to go back. Nothing here is wildly out of the ordinary and I guessed several of the “twists” but Pekkanen is so good at what she does that I didn’t mind the familiarity.

Thank you to NetGalley and St.Martin’s Publishing Group for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

House of Glass is truly one of my favorite psychological thrillers in recent memory!
It is so unique in its subject matter, story line and characters. I could not put this one down and for once, I couldn’t figure out the twist. This book keeps you guessing throughout and I was so sad to get to the last page. Highly recommend!

Just ok in my opinion. I didnt get attached to our main character, and the twists were good but not enough to keep me page turning.

I really liked the slower place of this book, it makes it all the more perfect of a thriller read.

The Barclay's nanny had been found dead and no one knows if it's an accident or murder. Ian and Beth are divorcing. Rose, the 9 year old, has stopped speaking. Stella is a BIA (a Best Interest Attorney) sent in to assess who would be best to take custody of Rose. Harriett is Ian's mother who has been living with them for a while.

Lots of secrets and lies and coverups. You never know who to trust I really liked the character of Stella because of her (sad but a bit helpful?) childhood. I devoured this book in a day.

Another good one from this author! This was fast-paced and had me turning the pages quickly. I did figure out what was going on, which was a little disappointing, but it was still a good one. Will definitely read this author again!

I have read a few of Sarah Pekkanen’s other books and consistently find them to be engaging peeks into the lives of flawed people or couples that allow the reader to not rely on initial assumptions of the persona someone presents to the world.

House of Glass takes us on a wild ride with a dead nanny, a creepy kid and a family that is about to implode. The main character, assigned by the court to evaluate parental custody of said creepy kid, keeps the story moving at a fast pace by mixing in snippets of her backstory to highlight her work as an attorney for families and children in impossible situations.

Great story start to finish that I would definitely recommend.

I usually love Pekkanen’s novels, but this one didn’t really do it for me. By the looks of things, I’m the outlier here, so maybe I’m moody this week. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Great premise, but Stella’s narrative fell flat and I would’ve loved to have seen dual POVs—Rose’s could’ve been quite captivating.

There were a couple subplots woven in and overly descriptive paragraphs that felt unnecessary; the book felt long and I found myself skimming several times.

Overall, 2.5 stars rounded up…not my jammy jam, but others seem to like it and reading is subjective, so ✌🏻

I love the books that she has teamed up to write so was very excited for this arc. What could possibly be amiss in working in a elegant home, a murder perhaps, a glassless house, and a truly strange mute child? If that doesn't draw your attention not sure what will. This would be a good beach ready and it kept me guessing until the end. Thank you netgalley and the publisher for the arc in exchange for a review.

Could a young girl really be responsible for the horrific death of her nanny? There are so many twists and turns to this story you may have a hard time putting it down. Thanks St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the opportunity for this early release.

“House of Glass” by Sarah Pekkanen was a totally gripping thriller that had my blood pressure elevated several times! The story is about a woman lawyer who is appointed guardian ad litem to represent a nine year old girl who has observed the murder of her nanny. The child has traumatic autism so she can’t communicate except through her body language. Her parents are getting divorced because the father had an affair with the nanny and the father's mother who lives with family is trying to convince the lawyer to give custody to the mother not her son. I cannot say anything more about the plot without giving away too much! The writing is fantastic, the story compelling and the characters are great including the house. This book is a chilling page turner and I loved it!

Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

My first introduction to Sarah Pekkanen's writing was her books with Greer Hendricks, which I loved. The first time I read one of her solo novels was last year's "Gone Tonight." I couldn't turn the pages of the suspenseful, familial-based thriller fast enough.

I'm happy to say that I found "House of Glass" just as unputdownable as her last book. It was a creepy and original read. I love how the main character's backstory was woven into the current plot so seamlessly. And I didn't see the twists coming, which is always fun.

4.5 stars rounded up.

Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

House of Glass is a taut psychological thriller that has you in its grip right from the beginning. An angelic child who could very well be evil incarnate? I have to say that I didn't see the ending coming at all! Great book and highly recommended for thriller lovers!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

4.5 stars. This is the first solely Sarah Pekkanen book that I've read and I really enjoyed it. The premise is that Stella is given the job to decide a custody agreement for Rose, whose parents are getting divorced following a revelation of cheating and their nanny dying due to an accident (or murder?). It's a bit of a whodunit as Stella tries to figure out where Rose should live, not wanting to home her with a potential murderer.

The book kept me guessing throughout, and I particularly liked how all the loose ends are tied up. I'm a girl who likes order. The reason I downgraded the star was I felt Stella was a little bit annoying - while her insecurities were meant to make her more personable, I think it made her seem more immature.

Thank you to netgalley for providing me this free ARC in exchange for an honest review.

i enjoyed reading this book - that's why I gave it 4 stars. But honestly, I was able to easily see some of the mysteries up front and I thought there was going to be something more eerie - tying Stella - Charles - Harriet - Ian together when they started going into her background, but that wasn't the case. There are 2 storylines in this book that parallel, but do not cross. It was an easy read with a good amount of mystery, twists, and turns, and it did keep my attention. 4 stars but not 5.

In a world of cheesy thrillers, I found a gem! Read in less than 24 hours because I could simply not put it down. By far the best book written by Sarah Pekkanen. Everyone is under suspicion, but you never can truly guess who did it. Docked one star for the second half. It slowed down quite a bit. Still enough to keep me engrossed, but lost some of the turbulence from the first half.

House of Glass is about a whodunit.
The nanny of a family is murdered, but who committed the crime? The mother, the father, the grandmother, or the child?

This is a book that keeps you guessing until the very end and also gives off creepy child vibes reminiscent of The Push or Baby Teeth.

I found the conclusion and wrap up very satisfying. I recommend this novel to anyone looking for an engaging thriller and character study.

I rate this novel 4 stars.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for providing this copy for my review.

I loved this book! It had some interesting twists and kept me guessing. The story surrounds a lawyer for a little girl in the middle of a custody battle. The family has a lot of secrets, but the child is not able to verbalize any of them, making the attorneys task more complicated. It was a well crafted story.

Stella is a best interest attorney, tasked with determining the custodial fate of Rose, after her parents' contentious divorce. Stella must get to know Rose's family intimately, to understand under what environment Rose will best thrive. But to complicate matters, Rose's former nanny was just murdered. And to complicate matters even more, Rose witnessed the whole thing. And now is suffering from traumatic mutism as a result.
House of Glass takes a deep look into the psychological affects of trauma, and uncovers dysfunctional family secrets. There is a parallel storyline of Stella's own past, which I found to be equally as interesting and compelling. I really enjoyed this book and sped through it. Another 5 stars for Pekkanen.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's press for an ARC of this title in exchange for my honest feedback.

OOOOO this was a good one!

A nanny has fallen to her death out of a window at the Barclay’s residence. A very wealthy couple who are going through a divorce with a nasty custody battle of their nine year old daughter, Rose. Stella Hudson has been appointed to represent Rose during the custody battle, looking out for her best interests.

Was Tina, the nanny, murdered or did she fall during a terrible accident?

I literally suspected EVERYONE in this story at one point or another. While this was definitely a slow burn at first (in my opinion) it was FULL of suspense. I would definitely recommend grabbing this one when it comes out in August.

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press, NetGalley, and Sarah Pekkanen for the opportunity to devour this ARC.
