One of her best books to date, a truly gripping thriller, that had me on the edge of my seat wanting more. Was slightly predictable in places but personally it worked.

Loved the first 80% of the book. It was surprising and more emotional than I thought. But the ending was a little weaker and dragged on a little too much. It was very satisfying, though.

i really liked “the family upstairs” so i thought to read another of lisa jewel’s books. although this one was really good, i liked the other one better. the ending didn’t surprised me that much, but i didn’t expect it either.
