About this listen

"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

8-year-old Rose Barclay refuses to talk after the shocking death of her nanny in the midst of her parents' acrimonious divorce. Attorney Stella Hudson is determined to help Rose speak, and discover what really happened. As Stella unravels the secrets of the Barclay family, the past and present collide with shocking consequences.

Everyone is a suspect in the nanny's murder. Even Rose.

Is the person Stella's supposed to protect the one she may need protection from?

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

Twisted and scary

Finding the words to describe this book is difficult. I did not enjoy it, yet I carried on listening to the end. It was drawn out making much of the problems that surrounded the Barclay family too much. Wasn't that keen on the narrator either

Good length for myself as it took me the 1 month to finish. Exciting story line - although I did figure it out eventually!

Great story to get me back into reading

There might be slight spoilers!
This book is almost a paradony of a gothic novel, full of cliches: а creepy grand mansion, a strange silent child... Not at all like the books in cooperation with Greer Hendricks. No major twists, nothing really happens during these 9 hours, almost nothing new reveled. The protagonist seems hysterical and unprofessional. The final action scene at the house is embarrassing.
I struggled through this book and won't ask for a refund, but it was not enjoyable.

Slow, boring, unrealistic
