Girls of Glass | Brianna Labuskes
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.

I suspect his will be my most read author this year as I am really enjoying. This was a really strong twisty murder mystery featuring all the good tropes. There is a troubled police offer and her incredibly patient partner. A rich powerful pillar of the community and a troubled family with a missing child. Somehow however it‘s so much more than all of its parts. Now to find what else is on kindle unlimited !

This book was a pleasant surprise! I bought the kindle version for super cheap on Amazon because they were having a sale and it seemed interesting enough. However, I‘d never actually heard of it and I didn‘t have super high hopes. This ended up pulling me in from the very beginning, and due to the twist, kept me guessing until the end!

A murder investigation of the death of a young child. While this book had some great twists and turns, I was left with a feeling of frustration at the end. I didn't guess the murdered until it was revealed but once it all "came together" I couldn't help asking "why? What was the point?" Obviously, murder is hard to justify in any instance but I truly felt like the motives could have been accomplished in a different way. Any one else read this one?

I have so many books on my TBR pile and sometimes it's overwhelming to pick and commit to one. I never know if I'll be in the right "mood" for a certain book. After reading 1 chapter of this and learning the author is from my alma mater (We Are Penn State!), I think this was a good pick. Stay tuned for a review in a few days!

A solid 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ read!! The family dynamics throughout this novel is very dark and telling, emotional connection for the win. A lot of twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Had me changing my mind about who was responsible for the crime with each chapter. The flashbacks from past to present were confusing at first but later on in the chapters it all made sense, and I am glad I stuck with it. I would definitely read another book from this author
