A review by girlglitch
The Girl Upstairs by Georgina Lees

2.0

I picked up The Girl Upstairs because the concept seemed intriguing, an interesting way to explore the theme of anonymous urban isolation through a thriller. But what starts off as an engaging and sensitive mystery soon unravels in the second half. It's one of those books with several great ideas, but it lacks momentum and a satisfying resolution.

That said, as a debut novel, there is some promise here, and I'd be interested to see how Lees' writing develops in the future.
