If you’re looking for a fast paced, easy to read thriller then this one is for you!

I loved the mystery surrounding the old nanny’s death. The plot twists kept coming, yet I seemed to be able to figure out the ending. There was a bit of a lull halfway through but it finished out strong.

I love a good thriller!
I wasn't sure how this would play out, but I wasn't disappointed!
All the characters had kept me guessing as to what their motives were and who killed Tina.
I liked how Stella felt connected to Rose, and that made her want to help her.
It was interesting how one person could manipulate the truth and make everyone believe them.
This was a great read, and I definitely recommend it!

House of Glass- This one was a page turner and I couldn’t guess the twist! There were so many suspects and a child too!

House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen is a slow-burning psychological thriller that masterfully blends family drama with chilling suspense. Set against an eerie, almost claustrophobic backdrop, the novel unravels layers of secrets, lies, and long-buried truths, all while exploring the fragile dynamics of trust and betrayal.

Pekkanen excels at building tension and crafting complex characters, drawing readers into a web of mystery that keeps you guessing. However, while the atmosphere is gripping and the premise strong, the pacing occasionally lags, and some twists feel a bit predictable.

Still, the emotional depth and the haunting exploration of how easily facades can crack make it an engaging read.

3.5 stars — a suspenseful, character-driven thriller with just enough twists and tension to keep you hooked until the final page.

Read this in July 2024 while boycotting SMP. I didn't write a review at the time of finishing and I
really should have but I did rate it 4 stars and I do remember enjoying it. I've enjoyed most of Sarah Pekkanen's novels, including co-authored with Greer Hendricks.

I always enjoy Sarah Pekkanen for her twisty psychological thrillers. Only problem is I never figure out the twists. And with this one, it’s even harder because everyone is lying and everyone is a suspect.

This is excellently plotted with past and present woven together like an intricate spider web. The house became its own character that was creepy and ominous and imparted a sense of foreboding that grabs you from the start. I couldn’t put it down.

Highly recommended if you like:
🔎 psychological thrillers
🔎 atmospheric reads
🔎 fast paced whodunnit

I didn't care for this book. It didn't capture my attention and I was bored throughout reading. I will say I wasn't expecting the ending and thought it was going a different direction, but it didn't make up for the journey to the end for me unfortunately.

**Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me an advanced copy of this book and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion. I am posting this review to my Goodreads account immediately and will post it to my Amazon & Instagram accounts upon publication.

A gripping psychological thriller that masterfully intertwines suspense and emotional depth. I love the fast-paced energy of Sara Pekkanen's books and this one did not disappoint.

The plot is expertly paced, with twists and turns that keep readers on the edge of their seats. The themes of trust, betrayal, and self-discovery are explored with nuance, adding depth to the thriller elements.

I found that I suspected each and every person in the novel at some point and so loved the ending when all is finally revealed.


Many thanks to Net Galley and St. Martin's Press for sharing this digital copy with me.

Sarah Pekkanen can be relied on for an engaging and fast-paced read and here she delivered just that again. The story held my attention from start to finish and the resolution felt satisfying, if a little expected. Recommended!

I wanted to read this, but it never compelled me to pick it up, so it was slow going. I enjoyed the point of view from the attorney for children and the psychological aspects of the storyline. (3.5/5)

Loved this book soooooo much!!!! Pekkanen can do no wrong, she is an auto buy for me now!! I could not put this book down- such a great story!

House of Glass stands as a noteworthy psychological thriller that delves into the complexities of familial relationships and the shadows of past traumas. Pekkanen's adept storytelling and atmospheric detail make it a recommended read for those who appreciate suspenseful narratives with profound character exploration. While it incorporates some conventional elements, the novel's strengths in ambiance and plot intricacy render it a compelling addition to any thriller aficionado's collection.

This one surprised me. It is unpredictable, filled with a ton of terrible characters, and will cause you to sit on the edge of your seat to figure out what has happened. The middle was a little slow moving and redundant, however, the ending was filled with a fast-paced, shocking ending. It will have you questioning what you think you know!
I really enjoyed this book - and will read another written by this author.
If you’re looking for an edge-of-your-seat, murder-mystery, then you should bump this one up on your TBR!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!

I will read anything Sarah writes. Everything she writes leaves me gasping out loud because the twists and turns leave my head spinning in every direction. This one did not disappoint. I thought she did a really good job....the=is was very cleverly written. Although a very dark, twisted book....its definitely one that will be on my list of "must reads" when recommending thrillers. bravo.

Sarah Pekkanen's single-authored and co-authored psychological thrillers are reliable purchases for me. Her books never disappoint. House of Glass was yet another thrilling read. I chose to listen to the audiobook, which was an enjoyable listen.

There were several different timelines involved in this book. It was easy to identify the timeline and changes in characters via the narrator's voice acting. The book's premise involves a lawyer charged with figuring out what happened to a little girl's nanny. The little girl, Rose, is presumed to be a witness to the nanny's murder, which took place in Rose's family's mansion.

There are a lot of unpredictable plot twists - an overbearing mother-in-law, a cheating husband, a wealthy heiress, and a now mute Rose, all of which keep me listening to the audiobook. A must-read for fans of thrillers.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and the author for an early edition of this book!

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen!

Thank you NetGalley and the author for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The story follows Stella, a woman who is still reeling from past trauma when she gets a seemingly perfect opportunity. She is hires as an attorney for Rose, a selectively mute child, suffering from her own trauma and parents impending divorce. There's a lot going on with the family, the affair, and the lies, but the author keeps you guessing and engaged throughout!

While the book offers intriguing insights into family dynamics and the cost of hidden truths, some plot points may feel predictable. Overall, it's an enjoyable read. I just could not mesh that well.
