I adoredThe Glass Houseby Eve Chase.Sublime writing, secrets, lovable characters I didn't want to leave, anda ripping twisting plot that kept me guessing. An absolute jewel of a book
Ariveting and richly atmospheric mystery- andone of the best thrillers- andwell deserving of its status as one of Amazon's bestselling lockdown titles
Chase'scompelling account of dark family secrets- a Richard and Judy Book Club choice -weaves elements of Gothic suspense into a heartwarming modern story of blended families learning to heal the wounds of the past
I adored thisbeautifully-written, riveting mystery.Chase is peerless in her ability to stitch together dark secrets and tantalising twists withunforgettable characters and enthralling imagery.I am a die-hard fan!
Eve Chase's novels are about glamorous families with tragic pasts, set in wonderful locations. Her writing is rich and her stories full of dreamy mystery.This gorgeous meditation on motherhood is one of my favourite reads so far this year
Absolutely her best yet.No one creates families as complex, loveable and utterly believable as Chase and she is the master of the dual time frame narrative
I enjoyed this book so much that every time I put it down, I wanted to pick it straight back up! I was totally invested in the tale
Dreamy and atmospheric, this wonderful, moving novel time-slips between the Seventies and the present
The Glass Houseis not really about a murder, or a creepy house, butabout families - the ones we're born into, the ones we make and especially the ones we flee
Terrific sense of place; twists aplenty; characters I cared about; anemotive explorationof mother/daughter relationships from birth to death. But it's the writing that lifts this:lush, lyrical, precise, confident.
If you like your mysteries atmospheric then I highly recommendThe Glass House- it's the kind of book that makes you look up in surprise at your present-day surroundings.Long-fused mysteries in the past and present take tantalisingly long time to weave together but the wait is absolutely worth it. Beautiful, transportive writing
