Finally Friday - House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen


 I was browsing the new book section of the Bedford Library.  Another woman was reading the jacket of a book I had read and I commented to her that it was really good. In turn, she  pointed at this one - House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen - and said it was excellent. She said the author wrote good mysteries.  Okay, I'll give her a try. 

Big thumbs up. cover  blurb - On the outside they were the golden family with the perfect life. On the inside they built the perfect lie.  A nanny plunged to her death...or pushed? A little girl who collects sharp objects and refuses to speak. A lawyer whose job it is to uncover who in the family is a victim and who is a murderer.  But how can you find out the truth when everyone here is lying? 

Lots of twists and turns for Stella, our  child  advocate  lawyer. She's Rose's counsel. But this eerie house, the mother, father, grandmother - all seems to be hiding something.  Is the person Stella's  supposed to protect the one she may need protection from? 

I can't write more.  At times I had to put the book down and step away.  Then I was compelled to read more. Well done. Thank you stranger at the library for your recommendation.
