The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

I was captivated by this book. I didn't know where all the twists and turns were going, but they all eventually revealed themselves into a sinister and satisfying ending. The one thing that annoyed me a little at times were that Libby and Lucy's chapters were written in third person, and Henry's in first person - it was a bit tricky to adjust to initially.
