The Glass Hotel is a psychological mystery thriller. Emily St. John Mandel is an author with a sharp brain and using that, she creates some really mind-blowing stories that are good enough to raise the mood of any sort of audience. Dylan Moore is equally as good and the audiobook with her performance became quite an impressive one, which is definitely worth your time. Station Eleven is another book by the author, which is probably her best-selling and most read novel so far.
