4/5 stars ★★★★☆
Why is the nanny always the evil aspect of that “perfect home” in books? This time, in House of Glass, it was the nanny that fell to her death out of a three-story window. Was it the mother, father, grandmother, the nanny’s boyfriend, or the child that caused the death?
I’m a big fan of Sarah Pekkanen, especially those books that she co-authored with Greer Hendricks , and House of Glass didn’t disappoint. It was fun to read something by Pekkanen alone.
Pekkanen does a great job of keeping the reader guessing throughout the whole story. The book is fast-paced and drops little hints along the way. It is more of a “whodunnit” story rather than one with many twists and turns.
I liked the character of Stella, who was the court-appointed attorney and hired to decide where Rose, the mute child, should live after the divorce. The story is told through her perspective.
Just when you think you figured out the murderer, the story changes on you. I love that kind of book. If you like books by Alice Feeney, B.A. Paris, or Ruth Ware, you will enjoy this book also.
I gave this book four out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and Sarah Pekkanen for my free copy of this book. This is my honest review.
