PRE-ORDER THE STUNNING NEW MYSTERY ABOUT OLD FAMILY SECRETS FROM THE AUTHOR OF BLACK RABBIT HALL AND THE VANISHING OF AUDREY WILDE

'A captivating mystery: beautifully written, with a rich sense of place, a cast of memorable characters, and lots of deep, dark secrets'
Kate Morton, bestselling author of The Clockmaker's Daughter

Outside a remote manor house in an idyllic wood, a baby girl is found.


The Harrington family takes her in and disbelief quickly turns to joy. They're grieving a terrible tragedy of their own and the beautiful baby fills them with hope, lighting up the house's dark, dusty corners.

Desperate not to lose her to the authorities, they keep her secret, suspended in a blissful summer world where normal rules of behaviour - and the law - don't seem to apply.

But within days a body will lie dead in the grounds.

And their dreams of a perfect family will shatter like glass.

Years later, the truth will need to be put back together again, piece by piece . . .


From the author of Black Rabbit Hall, The Glass House is an emotional, thrilling book about family secrets and belonging - and how we find ourselves when we are most lost.

Critic Reviews

A captivating mystery: beautifully written, with a rich sense of place, a cast of memorable characters, and lots of deep, dark secrets (Kate Morton)
Eve Chase is a supremo of this genre . . . An intricately woven novel of suspense and secrets
A beautifully written, atmospheric mystery that will captivate you from the first page to the last
I adored The Glass House by Eve Chase. Sublime writing, secrets, lovable characters I didn't want to leave, and a ripping twisting plot that kept me guessing. An absolute jewel of a book (Dinah Jefferies)
A riveting and richly atmospheric mystery - and one of the best thrillers - and well deserving of its status as one of Amazon's bestselling lockdown titles (Isabelle Broom, Woman & Home)
Chase's compelling 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 this beautifully-written, riveting mystery. Chase is peerless in her ability to stitch together dark secrets and tantalising twists with unforgettable characters and enthralling imagery. I am a die-hard fan! (Rosie Walsh)
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 (Lisa Jewell)
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
All stars

great story, but annoying as the narrator kept referring to the females as him and he and on occasions the males as she and her, very annoying and confusing

She is a him and a he

What a wonderful book. While I figured out a few things before the book did the revealing, there was an ending that tied it up all nicely that I didn’t see coming. So pleased I purchased this one.

Brilliant story

Why in earth would the narrator keep referring to a she as a he?
I thought a man had come into the story and wondered how that could happen. Then realised it was all through the book. Very odd. Otherwise i enjoyed my first novel of Eve Chase

Enjoyed the story but…

Really boring. I really tried but couldn't get more than a quarter of the way through.

Boring

It’s a strange but captivating story, and I feel ambiguous about it. It wasn’t a bad story but it wasn’t great either. It’s one of those books you need listen to to decide whether you like it or not.
