Why read it?

1 author picked Through the Glass as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is both a memoir and the story of a crime. I was interested in this book because the crime happened in the town where I went to university. A crime so close to home seems more frightening, more real.

The author writes a sincere, honest story about how you can be fooled by the person you most want to trust—your husband. I found this book hard to put down. 

From Karen's list on weave real life crime with memoir.
