The Sound of Glass
by
Thank you, NetGalley for an ERC of this book. An easy, and at times, slow beach read with enough suspense to keep me turning pages until the end, mostly to learn the secret at the heart of the story. . I have enjoyed other novels by Karen White. This one was peppered with Over-drawn, cliche characters and mostly predictable plot points and romance. The redundant hints about an illness and the central mystery about a suitcase and letter a grandmother hides, found me repeating over and over, I got it the FIRST time. Merritt's firefighter husband, Cal, died two years ago in a fire. Now, his grandmother, who Merritt never met has died. Not knowing Cal died before her, she leaves Cal The family house down south. Merritt is haunted by Cal's death and by her mother's death when she was a child and decides to leave her life up north and move to her newly inherited home. She barely arrives when her father's widowed second wife shows up with her 10 year old son, Owen--the brother Merritt has never met. The secret at the center of the story and the ways the character's lives suddenly intertwine strained my ability to suspend disbelief.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to finish my comment nor able to edit it after it accidentally posted.
I give up. Thanks Carol for this honest review. I originally had this book on my To Read list, because I've liked Karen White' s books in the past, but I won't be reading this one.
