The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell

4.0

I love Lisa Jewell. Each book that I read get creepier and creepier! This story moves back and forth between the past and the present. In the past, a family living in a giant house becomes more and more cult like as they give up all family possessions and slowly become confined to the house. How did three grown ups end up dead and where did the teenage children go? The only living thing in the house is a 10 month old baby. Years later, When “ the baby” turns 25, everything changes for this family and the story of what happened slowly begins to unravel. Thank you so much to NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book.
