"""Stepford Wives meets 2001 Space Odyssey, The Glass Woman is a twisty, thought-provoking read with characters full of heart engaging with the debate around AI in a truly inventive and original way."" – Chris MacDonald, author of Happily Every After and The Actor “Right from the opening chapter, where the narrator wakes up with no memory of who she is, The Glass Woman instantly hooks you with a timely take on the rise of AI, and burrows under your skin. It manages to be both a deliciously creepy and mysterious thriller and also a thought-provoking meditation on identity and memory. Hugely entertaining and relentlessly readable.” – Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Silent Patient “The boundary-breaking psychological thriller I’ve been waiting for.” – Sarah May, author of Becky ""More than simply a psychological thriller, The Glass Woman is a chilling invitation to witness what might be our future. The science is well-researched and completely believable. A novel that stayed in my mind long after I read the final page. The definition of a thought-provoking read.""  – Julie Corbin, author of Whispers of a Scandal ""Twisty, dark and chillingly believable. The Glass Woman is a gripping exploration of memory, loss and AI."" – Carole Hailey, author of The Silence Project"

This novel gets to the essence of the threat; it's not about robots taking over human jobs but the human mind, being in control of human self. Ariel's voice is a rare and excellently executed second person narration."" – Ania Bas, author of Odd Hours ""More than simply a psychological thriller, The Glass Woman is a chilling invitation to witness what might be our future.

Taking central themes of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Severance, and Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island to new dramatic heights, McIlroy's well-paced novel will keep readers guessing until the final pages."" – Booklist ""Twisty, dark and chillingly believable. The Glass Woman is a gripping exploration of memory, loss and AI."" – Carole Hailey, author of The Silence Project"
