I was so into this the entire time I was reading and then the ending just fell SO flat. There was barely a twist and everything just seemed to be tied up with a neat little bow at the end. I go into thrillers to be thrilled by the endings, but this just left me feeling underwhelmed. I'm still giving it a 3 stars though because I thought it was engaging and well written, but it's a book I will forget shortly after reading.

The Family Upstair was a gripping story that kept me turning pages. This sort of follow up is even better, it solves doubt and answer to some questions I didn't know I had, on a rational level at least.
Lisa Jewell delivers another great story and i had a lot in read this story.
It can be read as a stand alone but it would mean not understanding some nuances and some details.
I appreciated this story and I'm happy I read it. Great characters and solid plot.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
