Long-listed, Amazon.com Best Books of the Year, 2024

“Wow, I loved this one so much! I didn’t want it to be over because I was enjoying it so much, but I couldn’t stop turning pages! House of Glass is a gripping thriller that was packed with surprises and compelling characters.”—Freida McFadden

The next thrilling novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah Pekkanen, House of Glass.

On the outside they were the golden family with the perfect life. On the inside they built the perfect lie.

A young nanny who plunged to her death, or was she pushed? A nine-year-old girl who collects sharp objects and refuses to speak. A lawyer whose job it is to uncover who in the family is a victim and who is a murderer. But how can you find out the truth when everyone here is lying?

Rose Barclay is a nine-year-old girl who witnessed the possible murder of her nanny—in the midst of her parent's bitter divorce—and immediately stopped speaking. Stella Hudson is a best interest attorney, appointed to serve as counsel for children in custody cases. She never accepts clients under thirteen due to her own traumatic childhood, but Stella's mentor, a revered judge, believes Stella is the only one who can help.

From the moment Stella passes through the iron security gate and steps into the gilded, historic DC home of the Barclays, she realizes the case is even more twisted, and the Barclay family far more troubled, than she feared. And there's something eerie about the house itself: It's a plastic house, with not a single bit of glass to be found.

As Stella comes closer to uncovering the secrets the Barclays are desperate to hide, danger wraps around her like a shroud, and her past and present are set on a collision course in ways she never expected. Everyone is a suspect in the nanny's murder. The mother, the father, the grandmother, the nanny's boyfriend. Even Rose. Is the person Stella's supposed to protect the one she may need protection from?

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Wow, I loved this one so much! I didn’t want it to be over because I was enjoying it so much, but I couldn’t stop turning pages! HOUSE OF GLASS is a gripping thriller that is packed with surprises and compelling characters.”—FREIDA MCFADDEN

"Brimming with tension and full of surprises, HOUSE OF GLASS may be my favorite Sarah Pekkanen thriller yet. Eerie, unsettling, and so very, very good. I couldn't put this book down!"—MEGAN MIRANDA

Editorial Review

Did they all do it?
Sarah Pekkanen novels have been an auto-download for me since These Girls. Her latest drops listeners into the eerie story of Stella Hudson, a best interest attorney who reluctantly begins to observe the mysterious Barclay family. In the middle of the drama is young Rose Barclay, who has been left mute from the trauma of her parents’ bitter divorce and witnessing the death of her nanny. As Stella observes further, she begins to see that the Barclay family is cloaked in secrecy, raising questions about their true motives. Was the nanny’s death truly an accident? And why has the family removed all glass from their home? Performed by Laura Benanti (whose hilarious Audible Original, Nobody Cares,recently had me in stitches), House of Glass takes listeners on a rollercoaster of twists and turns that had me changing my whodunit guess every other chapter until its satisfying conclusion. — Patty R., Audible Editor

Narration is like nails on a chalkboard

Love all Sarah Pekkanen's novels, this one though, the narration is so bad I couldn't continue. In this case, reading the actual book is the better way to go.

Not worth the credit

I truly regret spending my credit on this. Somehow I thought it was a Scandinavian crime/ thriller, but it’s just a regular middle-America basic mystery with the most predictable plot. There’re no surprising twists or interesting character developments, the narrator’s tone doesn’t really match the heroine and makes her sound over dramatic. And the story just drags on and on and on and ends just how you thought it would end.

I enjoyed the mystery of this story

I listened to this one on Audible. The Narrator was A+.
The mystery of this story grabbed my attention immediately. You just don't know who to believe everyone has something to hide and it felt like everyone was lying constantly. Did young Rose witness a terrible accident or was it murder? Is Rose's family covering up that she is a troubled child?
There are so many questions but everything is resolved in the end dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's.
I really enjoyed this story.
