The short chapters where DCI Owusu updates the investigation into the death of Birdie are simply headed “Samuel” at the beginning of each chapter. I’ve been craving to read the sequel to THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS ever since I finished it, and Lisa Jewell hasn’t let me or her millions of fans down. Special thanks to NetGalley and Atria Books for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts.

All the new evidence pointed to a connection with the dead bodies found on the kitchen floor all those years ago.Jewell, you have stretched my heart and mind to your will, and I was happy to go wherever you took me. Jewell weaves her magic with her disturbed and unsettling storytelling, in which there are mysteries and surprising connections are made. My buddy read with SabiReads (you can read her review here) was what helped me read through to the end. After fleeing London thirty years ago in the wake of a horrific tragedy, Lucy Lamb is finally coming home. Alix is a podcast journalist who interviews successful and fascinating women about their lives and careers.

He’s had an obsession with him for the past thirty years and has finally gotten a bead on where he might be.

I will include posts on upcoming books to help readers keep abreast of new publications and their dates. Lisa is a number one New York Times and Sunday Times author who has sold over ten million books worldwide and be I had read The Family Upstairs so long ago that I worried that I would not be able to connect with and enjoy The Family Remains, the sequel to The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell.
