Thank you so much to Macmillan Audio for the free audiobook!

I will read everything that Sarah Pekkanen writes! I've loved her duo work in the past, but I've really come to love her solo work even more! Her 2023 release GONE TONIGHT blew me away and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one!

I'm so happy to report that it was another absolute winner! I started the audiobook and couldn't put it down basically until it was finished. I would describe this book as THE SILENT PATIENT meets TURN OF THE KEY. When a nanny allegedly falls out of her host family's window, their daughter Rose Barlcay goes completely silent refusing to say even a word for months.

The story is told from the perspective of a lawyer, Stella, who is working hard to understand what really happened to the Barclay's nanny while simultaneously coming to terms with her haunted past. The more she learns the more questions she has! What really happened to her mom when she was a child? Why does the Barclay family allow no glass in their house? Does anyone really know the people closest to them as well as they think they do?

The tension kept building and building for a STRESSFUL ending that had me locked in and eagerly anticipating the ending!

This will be a big hit and I can't wait to see what Sarah does next!

As far as the narration goes, I was hooked from beginning to end and was so engrossed in the story that I forgot I was even listening to someone read, so that should say a lot about what an amazing job Laura Benanti did! I think this is my third audiobook narrated by her and she's always nailed it!

This will be available for purchase August 6th!

Gripping, shocking, twisted, and full of suspects!

The Barclays are a wealthy family living in a historic luxurious DC home. Things appear picture perfect until their Nanny dies after falling out their attic window. Stella, an attorney, is called in to determine who is a victim and to advocate for nine-year-old, Rose who is not speaking but witnessed her Nanny fall out the window. Not only is Rose not speaking, but she has been collecting sharp objects and pieces of glass. During her investigation, Stella learns the many secrets that the divorcing family is hiding. Who is responsible for the Nanny's death? Who has the most to hide? Who knows the truth?

House of Glass is full of secrets, lies, deception, hidden motivations, suspense, tension, and danger. I had a great time doing my own super sleuthing trying to determine whodunit! I enjoyed the feeling of unease that flowed throughout the book while not knowing who could be trusted.

I found this book to be well written, well thought out, and loved how the tension built throughout the book. I also enjoyed the something-isn't-quite-right feeling that Sarah Pekkanen expertly created in this book. Rose is a fabulously drawn character. I kept changing my thoughts on her throughout the book. Pekkanen kept me on my toes, turning the pages and fully invested in the plot.

Gripping, thrilling, shocking, and suspenseful!
