FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF INVISIBLE GIRL


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 thriller from Lisa Jewell.

I swear I didn’t breathe the whole time I was reading. Gripping, pacy, brilliantly twisty.
Rich, dark and intricately twisted, this enthralling whodunnit mixes family saga with domestic noir to brilliantly chilling effect.
Twisty and engrossing story of betrayal and redemption. Reminiscent of Donna Tartt in scope and quality
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.
Creepy, intricate and utterly immersive: an excellent holiday read.
The Family Upstairs was a great read! Loved this page-turner by Lisa Jewell.
I had an unrelentingly pleasurable and a thrilling for-God’s-sake-tell-me-what-happened sensation in my stomach for the entire read ... Stupendous! (Ruth Jones)
The perfect poolside read. The perfect anywhere read, to be honest. This book is riveting, moving, and out in August. Highest possible level of recommendation. (Sophie Hannah)
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)
Rich in mystery from the very first page and Lisa Jewell’s best book yet.

English is my second langage, but I got very fascinated by this story, which, as incredible as it is, nonetheless remains in fact extremely plausible, to the point that it could be based on real facts, and may be it was somewhere. I highly recommend this work which is not only radiating tension, but also very sensitivity treated and with a great deal of tact, despite tackling delicate subjects such as child abuse and adolescent homosexuality. Awe-inspiring writing and reading down the line, I highly recommend!

Absolutely brilliant

I absolutely couldn't stop listening. A perfect story for a long journey or day of chores--you'll be transported!

Wonderful narrators, perfect narration for the story's voices. Great casting! (For Americans: if you have trouble with standard British accents, listen to the sample first).

I tried to write a summary but anything I say is likely to spoil the story's layers. Give it a whirl!

Gripping!
