Mini Review: Eve Chase the Glass House
The Glass House by Eve ChaseMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Eve Chase is new to me and is going to be filling my bookshelves from now on! I love the delicate detail and imagery, with not one cliche in sight. So refreshing! Extremely high-quality flowing, immersive writing, with a clever twisty plot that weaves like a richly textured tapestry. Highly Recommended!

| Claire Kendal does a brilliant job in her new thriller of treading that unsavoury terrain between 'love' and 'obsession' within a gripping, fast-paced and chilling storyline. There are plenty of twists in this highly convincing police procedural, wea ...more | |

“It was one of those late summer days trying its best to convince everyone that winter would never seep through and ravage the earth.”
― Girl on a Train
― Girl on a Train
“...We were pulling into the next station, when the woman suddenly got to her feet and made a move to squeeze past me. As her knees made contact with mine, she turned towards me. Her eyes locked straight onto mine, her eyelids pinned back, with a look I could only describe as sheer dread. In the next second, deep tram-lines formed between her eyebrows and her expression shifted. It was as if she was silently imploring me, entreating me. To do what? I had no idea. I was immobile, her gaze pressing me into my seat by some centrifugal force and I held her stare, unsure of how to react. Just as swiftly, she dropped her eyes and the moment passed. With one final glance behind her, she was swallowed up in the bodies at the door.
She was getting off. Something wasn’t right.”

She was getting off. Something wasn’t right.”
― Girl on a Train
“She had been lying there, facedown in the water long before the tide had turned at 3.04 that morning. Her eyes were staring into the river, her blonde hair first fanning out, then drawing back under her head with the wash of the water, like a pulsating jellyfish. The belt of her raincoat was caught on the branches of an overhanging tree and she’d been hooked, destined to forever flap against the corner of the broken pier with outstretched arms. She wasn’t going anywhere now; she was simply bobbing up and down with the rhythm of the water - and she hadn’t blinked in a long while.”
