People
are warped and twisted. And sometimes… they produce children who are even more
so.
Lisa
Jewell weaves a tale of greed, lust and sheer insanity in her latest thriller, “The
Family Upstairs.”
Set in
London, the book begins with Libby Jones, adopted as an infant, finally finding
out who her birth family is. Unbeknownst to her, she is also inheriting a
mansion worth millions of pounds. However, everything comes with a price… and
this house is no exception.
Surrounded
by mystery, the house has been vacant for decades. Years ago, the owners were
found dead and their children missing… except for a baby upstairs who appeared
to have been well cared for.
Meanwhile,
in France, a destitute mother of two sees a reminder on her phone: The baby is
25. What the heck? Just who is the baby and what does she have to do with this
homeless woman? You will have to read to find out more and discover the truth
behind the mystery. It’s well worth the time!
The book
winds up nicely and the ending is shockingly satisfying. However, there is an
opportunity for a sequel. Hoping that’s what Lisa Jewell has in mind. I want to
know what happens next!
