⭐⭐⭐⭐

🥰Thank you so much to @macmillan.audio and @stmartinspress for the free book and audiobook!

📖Title: House of Glass
✍️Author: Sarah Pekkanen
📅Pub date: August 6, 2024
⏳Audiobook length: 10 hrs 43 min
🗣️Audiobook narrator: Laura Benanti

I will read everything that Sarah Pekkanen writes! I’ve loved her duo work in the past, but I’ve really come to love her solo work even more! Her 2023 release GONE TONIGHT blew me away and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one!

I’m so happy to report that it was another absolute winner! I started the audiobook and couldn’t put it down basically until it was finished. I would describe this book as THE SILENT PATIENT meets TURN OF THE KEY. When a nanny allegedly falls out of her host family’s window, their daughter Rose Barclay goes completely silent refusing to say even a word for months.

The story is told from the perspective of a lawyer, Stella, who is working hard to understand what really happened to the Barclay’s nanny while simultaneously coming to terms with her haunted past. The more she learns the more questions she has! What really happened to her mom when she was a child? Why does the Barclay family allow no glass in their house? Does anyone really know the people closest to them as well as they think they do?

The tension kept building and building for a STRESSFUL ending that had me locked in and eagerly anticipating the ending!

This will be a big hit and I can’t wait to see what Sarah does next!

🎧As far as the narration goes, I was hooked from beginning to end and was so engrossed in the story that I forgot I was even listening to someone read, so that should say a lot about what an amazing job Laura Benanti did! I think this is my third audiobook narrated by her and she’s always nailed it!

❓How was your long weekend? What’d you read/do?
