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. And the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone. Downstairs in the kitchen lay three dead bodies, all dressed in black, next to a hastily scrawled note. When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom. Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying. 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. Everything in Libby’s life is about to change. 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. She rips it open with one driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am. Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby Jones returns home from work to find the letter she’s been waiting for her entire life. Plus it was all over IG and it was also the Book of the Month pick so I knew this one was going to be a big read going into the holiday season. I decided that this was going to be my first read by her and I couldn’t be more excited.

I have a couple of friends who have read them all and are constantly thrusting the latest Jewell release into my hands.

This is my first read by her but I am not a stranger to her books. The cover is beautiful and the premise for the story sounds great as well. Lisa Jewell is a wonderful writer and when I saw this book come up for review, I needed little convincing.
