The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell
5.0
As this review might contain spoilers from “The Family upstairs”, I highly recommend you read “The family upstairs” first. As well as to get the jest of it, and to better understand the role of each character in the book, and how things are they way they are now.
Let me start by telling you that this book was so gripping it was seriously so hard to put down. All I wanted to do is ditch everything and get in a nook in a cafe somewhere and READ ALL DAY LONG!.
Everything begins when Libby’s boyfriend, finds her long . lost Father, Phin - or Finn, as he goes by now -. But a week before their trip to Bostwana, to reunite the family, Finn goes incognito.
Henry, her uncle - whom has always been so fascinated by Phin - doesn’t like the news and decides to take matters into his own hand, by going out there and trying to locate Phin. For Libby? Or perhaps, for himself?
In the midst of all of this, a body is discovered by a mud lurker and is somehow, after thorough investigations, is tied to everything that’s happened in “house 16 on Cheyne Street”. Whose body is it? Is it really connected? And How?
Another POV is from Rachel’s side of the story as she meets this Handsome man called Micheal. Who is he? How does it end? And how is this all connected together?
… … … … … …
As I finished the First book, “The Family Upstairs”, I wondered, what more could there possibly be?
But then I read “The Family Remains” and now I knee why there had to be a sequel to the first book!
It somehow made it complete.
