**Loved THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS? Find out what happened next ...**

LONDON. Early morning, June 2019: on the foreshore of the river Thames, a bag of bones is discovered. Human bones.

DCI Samuel Owusu is called to the scene and quickly sends the bag for forensic examination. The bones are those of a young woman, killed by a blow to the head many years ago.

Also inside the bag is a trail of clues, in particular the seeds of a rare tree which lead DCI Owusu back to a mansion in Chelsea where, nearly thirty years previously, three people lay dead in a kitchen, and a baby waited upstairs for someone to pick her up.

The clues point forward too to a brother and sister in Chicago searching for the only person who can make sense of their pasts.

Four deaths. An unsolved mystery. A family whose secrets can't stay buried for ever ...

I couldn’t put this down…for sure this second book in the series requires knowledge of the first for it to fully make sense but I literally walked around with my headphones on listening to this at every opportunity and binged it in just 3 days. Enjoyed every minute.

Excellent thriller

I laughed. I cried. It was amazing. I didn’t know Lisa Jewell until the family upstairs and I will be listening to every one of her books now. This was fantastic

The perfect sequel

**4.5 Stars**

The psychological drama continues it starts with the recovery of bones in the river Thames. From reading book one we already know who they belong to. This story is predominantly told in the present from a few points of view. The detective in charge of the case Dci Samuel Owusu is trying to untangle the web that all points to the large house in Chelsea that in the past was home to a whole horror of things happening behind closed doors.

Henry is obsessed with a previous member of the house who disappeared and such is his obsession he virtually changes his appearance to look like him. He races off to Chicago on the hunt to find him. He tells no one and his sister Lucy gets wind of his whereabouts and a sense of dread envelops her so she decides to go to Chicago with her kids. Both Henry and Lucy have skeletons in their closets and there is one secret Lucy is hiding and someone out there witnesses this secret.

Back in the U.K. another woman with something in common with Lucy is trying to find her is she friend or foe?

There is so much more to say but I do not want to give anything away. Will this family ever keep their secrets and will they ever feel settled?

A very fitting sequel that kept me gripped…..
