House of Glass
by Pekkanen, Sarah
House of Glass places you in the middle of a high-stakes legal drama centered on a murder trial, but the real mystery is buried deep within the walls of a seemingly impenetrable family home. As a lawyer navigates the volatile testimony of a young witness, the narrative shifts between the courtroom and the fractured reality of the household where the crime occurred. It is a slow-burn experience that leans heavily on psychological discomfort, forcing you to constantly reevaluate who is telling the truth and who is merely performing a role. The pacing is precise, designed to make you feel as trapped as the characters themselves. If you enjoy domestic thrillers that prioritize character psychology and unreliable perspectives over cheap shocks, this will keep you guessing until the final reveal.
