I listened to Sharp Glass on audiobook through Xigxag, and I absolutely loved both the story and the narrator, Imogen Church.

A woman wakes up to realise that she’s being held captive by a man - and she has to work out how she’ll escape.

Over the course of the story, we learn who she is, why she’s captive in a cellar and who’s holding her there. The fact that the cellar is in complete darkness made my imagination run wild - as well as the imagination of the main character! What had she done? Was this revenge? Or something even more sinister?

This is a claustrophobic read and I was right there in the cellar with the woman. They all seem to be thoroughly unreliable characters: no one seems to be telling the truth. I felt that my job as the reader, was to try and detect who was lying the least!

It’s a sad story with some dark, violent themes. This novel was a really good tale, executed really well.
