Wow. Slow building but held my attention and I couldn‘t put it down!

Atmosphere & setting of this book were strong, & it did keep my attention well enough, but overall this didn‘t quite work the way I imagine the author wanted. It‘s very slow but not in the intentional way some thrillers are, & clear from the get go that certain characters were def involved in the crime. Plus, we‘re told that some chars are basically psychopaths but all we‘re shown are angry dickhead dudes. Not awful, just so-so for me. 2/5 ⭐️

THE GOOD OL‘ DAYS 😡😡😡

LOL the pre-Law and Order version of this universal understanding.

This is a very random one — Page Habit (which doesn‘t exist anymore, I don‘t think) had given out this code one time for extra goodies and a 2nd book in a particular box, & this was the additional book. Sounded interesting enough to hang onto, though it‘s been almost a year. Working on clearing out books that have been on my TBR shelves the longest, either by reading or unhauling. Gonna give this a try bc it still piques my interest! #nowreading

Good story. It took awhile to unravel, but in the end a good read. Great characters.

Brand new here! Hope it‘s okay to introduce myself as the author of these two novels: The Bookseller (Harper, 2015) and The Glass Forest (Touchstone/Simon & Schuster, 2018). Both books are literary suspense set in the 1950s-60s. Thanks to @Amymeyerson and @ErinSueG for recommending I join the fun and conversation!

Loved this suspenseful, atmospheric novel. So excited that Cynthia Swanson will be joining me for an in conversation at Tattered Cover Bookstore(Colfax) tomorrow (7/11). If you‘re in the Denver area, you should swing by! https://www.tatteredcover.com/events#event-id-142338

A suspenseful story of a young woman caught up in the mystery of her husband's family secrets. The story is told from the perspective of Angie, the young wife: Silja, the missing wife of the dead brother-in-law; and Ruby, Silja's daughter. The story is set in the 1940's to 1960 and includes accurate cultural details.

I enjoyed this one so much I'm going to find the authors first novel.

Kindle estimated 3:42 left & it took me 3:28. Pretty close.

At the dealership waiting for my car to be serviced. Decided to see if my Kindle's estimated reading time left is accurate. In other words, I'm bored.

3 hours 42 minutes - timer started

Starting my next book. I've been reading so many e-books lately that I may forget how a real book works. This you-tube video will remind me.🤓

Dad dies, mom is missing. Story jumps from the 1940‘s to the 60‘s. Ruby is the very intriguing daughter. And the aunt and uncle.... mysterious! A fast read.

The Glass Forest! Looking forward to reading this book! Thank you for this awesome book mail @SimonSchuster @TouchstoneBooks

Cynthia Swanson‘s first book is one I really enjoyed. I received an email from her before Christmas asking if I would be interested in reading her new book, which will be released on February 6th. I‘m not quite halfway through it and am enjoying the suspense of the story.

Trying to finish this today. It‘s a slow creep-fest. About 50% in and can‘t figure out who the real creep is, but it‘s building up quite nicely.
