In the towers of power, money papers the cracks until the truth surfaces in the most shockingly twistiest of twists. An utterly compelling thriller - you will not see the end coming! -- Sam Blake, author of THE KILLING SENSE A whip-sharp, tension-filled mystery brimming with twisty intrigue, that offers perfect escapism whilst keeping you guessing right to the end! -- Carmel Harrington, author of THE STOLEN CHILD An intelligent, elegant and beautifully written novel set in the glamorous glass box world of Manhattan's elite where you can get away with almost anything if you have enough money. A gripping, intricately layered plot that reels you in from the first page, a rich cast of complex relatable characters, and lots of compelling strands that Coffey deftly weaves together without a seam in sight.

This novel makes us question, how important is the truth, and can you build a life in the foundations of a lie? -- Hannah King, author of THE BLINDSPOT A cracking, page-turning, who-dunnit that delves into the toxic worlds of privileged élites. Set against the glitz of the Upper West Side, the reader is once again reminded that all the glistens is not gold -- Siobhan MacDonald, author of GUILTY I loved the New York setting, the glitz and glamour, the damaged characters and the excellent twists!

In Glass Houses is a sophisticated page-turner that exposes the rotten underbelly lurking beneath the sleek, glamorous surface. Smart and insightful, it's a must-read -- Mary Watson, author of THE CLEANER Pacy and sinister with jaw-dropping twists that will keep you tearing through the pages. I really rooted for Eddie throughout, as she worked her way through a web of lies spanning decades. Nothing is quite as it seems in this fantastic novel -- Jennifer Bray, author of THE LIES BETWEEN US Set within glamorous New York society, in a glassy high-rise apartment building that illuminates transparency, nothing is exactly as it seems, least of all the main players.
