The Family Remains
by Lisa Jewell
Having loved ‘The Family Upstairs’ I was eagerly awaiting this follow on. The anticipation was intense! I was thrilled to be sent a digital pre-release copy by NetGalley and Penguin Random House, to read and review.
This sequel reacquaints the reader with the characters from the first book. Although this could be standalone, I recommend reading the earlier book for clarification of previous events. This will help readers to engage in a true understanding of the characters, and the family dynamics, including the drama that surrounds them as individuals as well as siblings.
Lisa Jewell is a fantastic author for developing characters, and ‘The Family Remains’ is a clear definition of this.
This multidimensional story is complex yet incredibly gripping. With various plot twists, a dark and chilling atmosphere and a highly entertaining yet unexpected conclusion. I am apprehensive not to add spoilers, so am finding it hard to say much about the plot!
I thoroughly enjoyed this read. It lived up to all my expectations and much more. A perfect farewell to these characters! A recommended read for fans of this author and genre.
