Kate’s 2¢: “The Glass House” by Beatrice Colin

“The Glass House” by Beatrice Colin

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   Well now, talk about skeletons in the closet! Or should I say: Look who’s calling the kettle black!  Very interesting story and a good ending, except for still not knowing where George is.
