House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen
4.5
mysterious tense fast-paced

I really liked the slower place of this book, it makes it all the more perfect of a thriller read. 

The Barclay's nanny had been found dead and no one knows if it's an accident or murder. Ian and Beth are divorcing. Rose, the 9 year old, has stopped speaking. Stella is a BIA (a Best Interest Attorney) sent in to assess who would be best to take custody of Rose. Harriett is Ian's mother who has been living with them for a while. 

Lots of secrets and lies and coverups. You never know who to trust I really liked the character of Stella because of her (sad but a bit helpful?) childhood. I devoured this book in a day.
