An Amazon Charts bestseller. It takes more than a lie to hide the dark secrets of this picture-perfect family. When the granddaughter of one of Florida's most powerful judges disappears, it triggers a personal trauma for Detective Alice Garner: the kidnapping and murder of her own child. As a flood of painful memories comes rushing back, Alice sees herself in the guilt-ridden and emotionally fragile mother Charlotte Burke, who has become the target of a rush to judgment. All too familiar with Charlotte's situation, Alice is reluctant to cast any blame. Her gut instincts tell her that Charlotte's anguish is rooted in something else--somewhere too dark for the truth to be seen. And Alice believes that it's hiding behind the facade of the illustrious and guarded Burke mansion. But uncovering Charlotte's past comes with a risk. For Alice's own life is becoming entangled in the secrets and lies of the picture-perfect family--an image that is about to be shattered in so many unexpected ways.… (mehr)

Good story ( )
  ibkennedy | Jul 23, 2022 |
I really did not like this book that much. I finished it because I rarely do not finish a book. I am not sure if it was the narration or the book. The twist at the end I did not like but was not expected. I won't go into details due to not wanting to post spoilers but I am not sure if I will read another book by this author or listen to another one by this reader.

I never saw it coming. I saw some of it, but not all of it, that was really good. ( )

Girls Of Glass
By
Brianna Labuskes

What it's all about...

Detective Alice Garner and her partner Detective Nakamura are thrust into the kidnapping of a young child who is part of a prominent Florida family. The crime resonates with Alice because her young daughter was also taken and murdered years ago. Alice can barely hold on as she and her partner get deeper and deeper into the lives of this family. There is an evil abusive mother in this family. The father is a prominent judge who has a less than stellar reputation. Two grown daughters...Mellie and Charlotte...and their children...Trudy and Ruby...live with them...obviously all under their mother’s control.

My thoughts after reading this book...

Wow! This book set a fast pace from the start and kept a fast pace with incredible twists and turns throughout. Hollis...was a most evil mother. Her grown daughters were under her control 24/7. She monitored their money, credit cards and comings and goings. Trudy...the teenager...is desperate to break away from this family. There is obviously some horrible secret within the walls of this house. Rumors about the father are everywhere but no one dares to confront him. From the start I got the feeling that the father was a predator and an evil one, too.

What I loved best...

The interactions of this family were what carried this book. Alice and her issues added to the suspense, too. By the time everything was disclosed I was reeling!

What potential readers might want to know...

This is a great story. It has all of the requisite twists and turns to keep a reader guessing about the ending.

I borrowed this book from Prime Reading through Amazon. It was my choice to read and review it. ( )
