____________________________ FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THEN SHE WAS GONE In a
large house in London's fashionable Chelsea a baby is awake in her cot. Well-fed and cared for
she is happily waiting for someone to pick her up. In the kitchen lie three decomposing
corpses. Close to them is a hastily scrawled note. They've been dead for several days. Who
has been looking after the baby? And where did they go? Two entangled families. A house
with the darkest of secrets. A compulsive new thriller from Lisa Jewell.
____________________________ 'Rich dark and intricately twisted this enthralling
whodunnit mixes family saga with domestic noir to brilliantly chilling effect.' RUTH WARE '
You don't read a Lisa Jewell book you fall into it. It takes huge talent to establish a whole
world in the turn of two pages.' ERIN KELLY 'I had an unrelentingly pleasurable and thrilling
for-God's-sake-tell-me-what-happened sensation in my stomach for the entire read ...
Stupendous!' RUTH JONES 'Absolutely brilliant. Great characterisation a fascinating and dark
set up and a great conclusion. She's always great but this is next level stuff.' SARAH
PINBOROUGH ' Few writers of psychological suspense devise such swift slippery plots fewer
still people their stories with characters so human and complex. Lisa's Jewell's The Family
Upstairs glitters like a blade and cuts even deeper. ' AJ FINN 'Whenever I pick up a Lisa
Jewell novel I know I'm in for a compelling immersive and unputdownable read and The Family
Upstairs is one of her very best' CL TAYLOR 'I had hoped to save The Family Upstairs for my
holiday but failed miserably ... I was hooked from the first page. I think it's her best yet
and hands down my favourite book so far this year.' ALICE FEENEY 'Utterly compelling.
Deliciously dark and twisty with characters who live on in your head. Lisa Jewell just keeps
getting better and better.' JANE CORRY 'This is my pick of the crop of thrillers out this
month ... Lisa Jewell is brilliant at creating a menacing atmosphere and this is almost
unbelievably tense at times. ' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 'It's absolutely bloody brilliant and I
can't tell you much I wish I'd written it.' TAMMY COHEN 'It's SO GOOD!' INDIA KNIGHT 'I
loved The Family Upstairs !' SARAH JESSICA PARKER ____________________________ Readers are
obsessed with The Family Upstairs: 'I read so many books in the crime mystery genre that it
becomes harder to find a book that stands out. This one succeeded!! Hooked from page one' ' I
totally adored this book . All of Lisa Jewell's books are fabulous but something about this
one is extra special.' ' Absolutely absorbing ... thoroughly enjoyed it' 'Kept me captivated
from the very beginning ... Definitely worth reading - as long you like reading into the night!
' 'Everything you could wish for in a book. I devoured it. ' 'Wow!!' 'What a book. Clever
would be an understatement . And those last pages left me with chills. The concept had me
intrigued and the execution had me captivated. I COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!'
