I read The Sound of Glass for the December 2016 pick in my online book club, The Reading Cove.

I enjoyed the setting and the mystery about what actually happened in the past, it kept me turning the pages. I did have to skim through to make it to the end, however. At times the pacing is mind-numbingly slow, with scenes taking FOREVER to unfold because there always seems to be paragraphs of description and over-explaining before the character gives a response that continues the conversation. So I found myself skimming just to get the conversations moving at a more natural pace! LOL

The plot was also extremely coincidence-dependent, which always loses me. Very contrived with not much credibility. And the cookie-cutter 1980s Harlequin romance beats between Merritt and Gibbes certainly didn't help the situation.

So overall I wouldn't recommend this unless you're a fan of the above style of storytelling. 2.75 stars.
