What to expect

The Glass Key is a breathtaking, beautiful, stay-up-all-night story about love, loss and secrets from the bestselling author of the Richard and Judy Book Club pick The Midnight House.

'A page-turning mystery, richly layered and irresistible' CARMEL HARRINGTON
'A gorgeous novel. Beautifully written, layered and twisty. I loved it' EVE CHASE
'An old school epic that will have readers turning the pages long into the night' SINÉAD CROWLEY

In Ireland, Maggie has grown up hearing her mother tell her the bedtime story of The Glass Key. It's a Nordic fairytale passed down by Maggie's grandmother Anna Swan, who mysteriously left her home one stormy night years ago, never to return. Now Maggie's grandfather has died and going through his things, Maggie is shocked to discover a faded wartime letter, asking him to take in a baby. In that moment she realises that Anna Swan was a woman of many secrets.

Only by travelling to Norway and discovering the story of four brave young women whose lives were forever changed by the occupation of their tiny islands, can Maggie uncover the shocking truth about her family - and finally unlock the mystery of the glass key...

As epic as the Norwegian landscape it so vividly describes, The Glass Key is a sweeping journey of a novel that will stay with you for ever.
