Thank you @netgalley for an eARC . I could not put this one down and loved it. The mystery, the thrill, the question of who was reliable or not. I loved how I couldn’t trust anyone and the connections along the way.

Definitely a five star read and will be one of my favorites this year.

Boycott. As a Muslim and mother to black children. We demand an apology. It’s a shame such a big company will stand for such atrocities, end this boycott. Issue a public apology.

This book had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish! Stella is working with a young girl, Rose, who has traumatic mutism after a tragic accident at her home. There lies, deception, and a few creepy kid incidents along the way! I have already recommended this book to many friends, and I know you won’t be disappointed either!!!

Thank you St.Martin’s Press for allowing me to take this wild ride!!!

House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen really kept me guessing up until the last chapters. I was positive I had figured out what happened early on. I didn't see that coming!
I enjoyed the pacing, but the chapters about Stella’s past kind of dragged the story. I was satisfied with the ending. Although I didn’t care for the chapters about Stella’s past, I understand how it all fits in the story.

A nanny falls to her death. Her charge refuses to speak. The couple decides to divorce. The plot thickens. This murder mystery slowly pulls you in inch by inch, detail by detail, until it explodes at the end. Overall, a fun and intriguing read.

In House of Glass we meet Stella, a best interest lawyer for a little girl, Rose, who has witnessed a murder. Most of the novel is set in Rose's house--and it has a presence of its own--creepy, creaky, and full of secrets. I loved Stella's character arc...it is more developed than in many thrillers. And I appreciated the simplicity of the plot--not overly twisty like some thrillers. This was my first solo novel by Pekkanen. I've previously read and loved her collaborations with Hendricks, so I was excited to give her own work a read, and while it didn't quite hit me like her collaborations, it was still an enjoyable read.

This was a great thriller. Everything about this book intrigued me when NetGalley and St. Martin's Press approved me as an ARC reader. The cover is vibrant and eye catching, the title is engaging, and the short synopsis had me itching to read! Pekkanen did a great job of keeping the reader invested in the story. She pulls at heartstrings with Rose and Stella's connections, but still keeps you on the edge of your seat. In this story, you really can't trust any of the characters until the very end when the truth comes out. I loved the ending and thought the author left nothing to the imagination. Read this book! I devoured it in 2 days.

Thank you again NetGalley, Sarah Pekkanen, and St. Martin's Press for allowing me an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Good book, but I didn't LOVE it. I liked Stella's character, who is a best interest attorney tasked with deciding who Rose will live with after her parent's divorce. Add in the fact that Rose's nanny Tina fell (or was pushed?) through the third-story window and died and Rose is now mute.
Stella comes to realize that someone in the house might have pushed Tina. Could it have been Rose's parents, Beth or Ian, or her grandmother Harriet? Or was it Rose herself?
There was also Stella's background that I enjoyed reading about.
I wasn't blown away by the ending.
Recommend if you like Pekkanen's other books.

This was far too drawn out. I felt like her acceptance of Charles' behavior was unrealistic and creepy, the relationship with Garcia unnecessary, and the overall story rather boring.

A nanny plunges to her death. Was it an accident or could it have been one of the family members? This storyline kept me engaged the entire time wanting to find out what happened. The sub-put regarding the attorney's past was interesting as well. Overall a solid, fast read. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

I don't know if I was expecting much more based on the description or what. I expected atmosphere and creepiness with the family and environment, but it just felt cold. I didn't connect with the narrator and couldn't connect to the story at all. The twists didn't catch me by surprise so much as just making me go, 'oh'.

Stella Hudson is charged with the future of Rose Barclay and whose custody she should be in after her parents divorce. But Rose is not speaking and Stella is being stonewalled about true situation from her parents.

This is one of those books that you read and finish in one or two sitting because it's so hard to put it down!!! The entire book has you trying to figure out who is lying and who is actually telling the truth, which I love!!!! I was disappointed when I finished and I feel like this could be made into a really good movie!!!

It's about a little girl who MIGHT have witnessed her nannys murder, but won't speak to anyone about it,so nobody knows what she really saw. When the attorney comes in to deal with the young girl, she realizes that the entire family is a little out of whack and everyone in the family is a suspect in her eyes.

Very well written, highly recommend!!

Love the author! I was engaged through the whole book, really hard to put down.

Thank you for the prerelease ebook netgalley!

Does evil exist in a nine year old girl? That is one of the questions posed in House of Glass. Rose Barclay is the only child of couple, Ian and Beth Barclay, who are in the middle of a bitter divorce and custody battle. Grandmother Harriet lives with them and appears to be deeply devoted to her granddaughter. However the nanny mysteriously died on the property and the unsolved case was closed. Enter Stella Hudson, a best interest attorney, who is to observe the family and give her custody recommendations to the court. While interviewing the family and their contacts Stella catches the family in lies and hiding information from her. Did one of the family members kill the nanny or was it a terrible accident? Who should Rose go to live with where she will be safe? Or is she the one to be afraid of? You have to read the book to discover the answers! I highly recommend this
one! Thanks to NetGalley and St Martins Press for the ARC,

I’m having some mixed feelings about this one. The premise was interesting and the writing was fine, but the story just never really ended up grabbing me. I never really understood Stella’s fear of the Barclay’s house. I didn’t feel like an eerie atmosphere was really set, so much as Stella just repeating over and over again how it unsettled her. And I feel like the title doesn’t make sense?

I thought that every single “twist” in the story was very predictable, but maybe people that don’t read much of this genre will find things more shocking than I did? In addition to the mystery of what really happened to the nanny, Stella is finally learning to grieve the passing of her mother from about thirty years prior and processing her own trauma of her childhood. It didn’t really fit well with the rest of the story for me. I feel like it either should have been much more developed or left out completely.

Overall, this book wasn’t really for me. However, I think there are plenty of other readers that will enjoy this.

This is a fun and fast read with a twist I did not see coming! I wish I had connected more to the main character, at times the writing felt a bit all over the place which may have detached me. But recommend as an airplane or summer beach read!

I was not expecting all the twists and turns I received from this book. It was suspenseful for sure and had me on the edge of my seat unable to put this book down. The ending was wilding and I didn’t expect it to be the way it was. I totally recommend this book.

This was fantastic. A thriller that kept me guessing for the entire book AND a creepy little kid? Say less.

A quick and fun read but the writing was a bit over the top and too flowery. I liked the suspense and I was guessing until the end but I rolled my eyes a few times at a lot of the descriptions.
