‘Absolutely her best yet’ Lisa Jewell, bestselling author of The Family Upstairs
‘A wonderful, romantic, compelling mystery. Eve Chase has something of the poet in her: her descriptions of a remote manor house nestling in an ancient forest are worth reading for themselves, but the plotline of The Glass House is utterly absorbing in its own right. We loved it‘ Richard and Judy Book Club
‘The Glass House is not really about a murder, or a creepy house, but about families – the ones we’re born into, the ones we make and especially the ones we flee’ New York Times
