“House of Glass” is a thriller with a lot of mysteries for readers to unravel. A nanny ends up dead. Did she trip and fall? Was she pushed? Did she jump? If it was an act of malice, who was behind it? Is the house haunted? Where did the creepy notes and noises come from? Is it possible that a nine-year old child is behind everything that is happening?

One of my favorite parts of Sarah Pekkanen’s newest thriller is that I did not figure out who was behind what was happening at the house until it was about to be revealed. I THOUGHT I knew what was going on, but I was wrong, and that was so much better than figuring things out too early in the story. Rose came across as a truly creepy kid, and the house itself was a main character that was worthy of the place it held in the story. Stella, the guardian ad litem hired by the court, is also an interesting character. It is clear she is very invested in doing what is best for the children she oversees, but this case might be too close to her own traumatic past for her to see it through.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sarah Pekkanen, and St. Martin’s Press for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
