REVIEW: The Family Upstairs - Lisa Jewell

Libby Jones turns 25 and gets the ultimate gift – a huge home in the much-coveted London Chelsea neighbourhood. Libby was adopted at 10 months when her parents were found dead in their home – an apparently cult suicide – and is now the proud owner of the home worth millions. As Libby learns more and more about her past and her family, she discovers that the home is hiding more than just a story… I loved this book so much! I really enjoyed that it switched from one narrator to another and also that it went back and forth throughout time in order to build the suspense and creep factor I was looking for. Although I wasn’t as satisfied as I would have liked, I found the ending to be smart and twisted. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a thriller that you can devour in a single sitting.

Rating: [4/5]
