The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell
3.5


I finally picked up the follow up to The Family Upstairs about two years after reading the first instalment. I’ve got to admit I couldn’t remember who anyone was and I only had a vague memory of the plot from the first. After a few chapters, I’d just about got to grips with who was who and I begin to get suckered in to the story. 

Whilst not quite as shocking as its predecessor, this was still a good and enjoyable thriller. We’ve got a good range of characters and plenty of mystery to unpick.
