Family Upstairs
Family Upstairs | Lisa Jewell
From the New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone comes another page-turning look inside one family's past as buried secrets threaten to come to light. Be careful who you let in. Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby Jones returns home from work to find the letter she's been waiting for her entire life. She rips it open with one driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am. She soon learns not only the identity of her birth parents, but also that she is the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion on the banks of the Thames in London's fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth millions. Everything in Libby's life is about to change. But what she can't possibly know is that others have been waiting for this day as well--and she is on a collision course to meet them. Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying. When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom. Downstairs in the kitchen lay three dead bodies, all dressed in black, next to a hastily scrawled note. And the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone. In The Family Upstairs, the master of "bone-chilling suspense" (People) brings us the can't-look-away story of three entangled families living in a house with the darkest of secrets.

Weird, illogical, easy read. Overall enjoyable but probably won't remember in a year. Typical Jewell.

This had a lot of twists, and it was confusing at times, but an okay read overall. Lots of side stories/different perspectives coming together in one final plot, if that‘s your thing?

Started this Lisa Jewell book on Saturday and finished today. Although I counted it as a #bookspinbingo on Sunday. I should get another bingo later this week as I'm reading two of my free spaces this week. I'm proud of my bingo board and how much I've read this month!

So this started out a little too slow for me, it didn't really pick up until the middle. I will say, every time I thought I knew who did it and she couldn't trick me...she ended up tricking me and it wasn't who I thought it was. The story was a little weird, and completely different from what I expected. I really like this author and can't wait to read what she writes next!

Great great mystery. Understand why it was an Indie pick for December. Very worthy read.

Get ready for it, libraries & book stores. This is going to be big.

Lisa Jewell has delivered a taut, nail-biting story of love, obsession, betrayal, and murder in a way that keeps you reading long after bedtime. Jewell‘s psycho-gothic story joins similar edge-of-your-seat stories from Ruth Ware, AJ Finn and Gillian Flynn. Recommended.
