From the #1 New York Times bestselling author
of Then She Was Gone comes another page-turning
look inside one family’s past as buried secrets
threaten to come to light.
Be careful who you let
in.
Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby
Jones returns home from work to find the letter she’s
been waiting for her entire life. She rips it open with one
driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am.
She soon learns not only the identity of her
birth parents, but also that she is the sole inheritor of
their abandoned mansion on the banks of the Thames in
London’s fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth
millions. Everything in Libby’s life is about to
change. But what she can’t possibly know is that
others have been waiting for this day as well—and she
is on a collision course to meet them.
Twenty-
five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with
reports of a baby crying. When they arrived, they found a
healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the
bedroom. Downstairs in the kitchen lay three dead bodies,
all dressed in black, next to a hastily scrawled note. And
the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were
gone.
In The Family Upstairs, the master of
“bone-chilling suspense” (People) brings us the
can’t-look-away story of three entangled families
living in a house with the darkest of secrets.
