FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THEN SHE WAS
GONE

In a large house in London's fashionable Chelsea, a baby is awake in


her cot. Well-fed and cared for, she is happily waiting for someone
to pick her up.

In the kitchen lie three decomposing corpses. Close to them is a


hastily scrawled note.

They've been dead for several days.

Who has been looking after the baby?

And where did they go?

Two entangled families.


A house with the darkest of secrets.
A compulsive new thriller from Lisa Jewell.

set up and a great conclusion. She's always great but this is next
level stuff.' SARAH PINBOROUGH

compelling, immersive and unputdownable read and The Family
Upstairs is one of her very best' CL TAYLOR
