House of Glass

House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen is a quick, suspenseful read that dives into family secrets and the aftermath of a mysterious death. The story follows Stella Hudson, an attorney working to help a young girl, Rose, who has stopped speaking after her nanny's tragic death. As Stella gets deeper into the case, she discovers dark truths about the family she's trying to help, while also dealing with her own painful past.

The book has an intriguing plot and enough twists to keep you reading. It's easy to get through, and the mystery surrounding Rose and the family's secrets made me want to see how it all ended. That said, I wasn't really hooked on the characters. Some of their choices didn't always make sense to me, and I found it hard to connect with them emotionally. There were even a few parts I skimmed because I just wasn't that interested.

Still, I enjoyed the twist at the end, and I think fans of psychological thrillers will like this one for its fast pace and engaging mystery. It's not a book that will stick with me for long, but it's a solid option if you're in the mood for something light and suspenseful.
