The last thing she remembers is standing outside the empty house. One she was employed to pack, ready for removal. Her job is her life. It is her compulsion to take care of an owner's precious possessions, to do whatever it takes to help them move on. Now she is cold, dirty, damp, trapped in its cellar with no chance of escape, miles from anywhere. His prisoner.
And then he returns.
Her captor believes she holds the answers to why a young girl was murdered a year ago. He refuses to let her go until she reveals her secrets. But he doesn't know she has hidden depths, and an anger she works hard to control.
The battle lines are drawn. They are the only two people who can solve the mystery of the dead girl, but when the truth is revealed whose life will shatter...?

I'm a huge fan of the author and have read all of her books. I particularly like her Marnie Rome books. So I was looking forward to reading Sharp Glass, a stand-alone thriller. I really loved this. The story move between the POV of both characters, urging you to keep reading until all the twisty story threads start to untangle and make some kind of sense, or not. I liked the way the book is structured. I never quite knew what was going on, who to trust and where the book would take me next. It's a tense, gripping read. I was pulled into the complex story after the first few lines and the book refused to let me go until the end. I loved Sharp Glass and would recommend it.
