"Rich, dark, and intricately twisted, this enthralling whodunit mixes family saga with domestic noir to brilliantly chilling effect." --Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True comes another page-turning look inside one family's past as buried secrets threaten to come to light.
Be careful who you let in.
Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby Jones returns home from work to find the letter she's been waiting for her entire life. She rips it open with one driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am.
She soon learns not only the identity of her birth parents, but also that she is the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion on the banks of the Thames in London's fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth millions. Everything in Libby's life is about to change. But what she can't possibly know is that others have been waiting for this day as well--and she is on a collision course to meet them.
Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying. When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom. Downstairs in the kitchen lay three dead bodies, all dressed in black, next to a hastily scrawled note. And the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone.
In The Family Upstairs, the master of "bone-chilling suspense" (People) brings us the can't-look-away story of three entangled families living in a house with the darkest of secrets.

Dark, suspenseful, and extremely well-written. This novel takes you on a wild ride. Lisa Jewell is an incredible storyteller and once again she draws you in and fully immerses you in her story. I can't wait to read her next story.
Great read! Wonderful thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat!
Couldn’t put it down. I read it in 2 days. I had to know what happened. . I have found a few author to follow.
Because of the jumping around it took awhile to get into this book. I felt it was predictable, I wouldn’t recommend.
I love Jewell’s writing style and how she weaves her stories and characters. I recommend every book by Jewell, always excellent.
