House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen is a typical thriller murder mystery. Stella is a lawyer that is assigned to Rose, a trauma induced mute child, with the goal of determining which parent Rose should live with after they divorced. The problem is that the mutism and divorce came about after Rose's nanny died by falling out of a window. Was it murder, suicide, or an accident that caused the pregnant nanny to plunge to her death? And what does Rose know that she is not telling?
The story unfolds slowly a bit at a time, Everyone seems like a suspect in the nanny's death including Rose herself. Stella's own person issues complicate her decision. This story is enjoyable but not an edge of your seat thriller, more like a slow burn with some twists thrown in. It is worth the read.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the advanced copy. The opinions are my own.
