The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell
4.5
dark mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I was completely drawn in from the beginning and so hooked that I moved into the The Family Remains within seconds of finishing! A twisted unravelling of the events that led to a well looked after baby being found in a run down but once grand house along with three decomposing bodies. Excellent storytelling with intriguing characters who I’m looking forward to spending more time with in the sequel!
