A review by carriekellenberger
The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell
slow-paced
3.0
Lisa Jewell writes great mysteries and this one really started to burn towards the end, but it didn't get me excited the way some of her others books have. I felt it was really slow and a bit boring to start, but it picked up speed 3/4 of the way through and the ending was great.
Libby Jones finds out shortly after her 25th birthday that she has inherited her parents mansion on the Thames River in London's Chelsea district. She also finally learns who her birth parents are and she's a millionaire.
She also finds out that other people have been waiting for this day and she's going to be meeting them very soon. Libby has questions. Why was she left abandoned in a mansion with three dead bodies? Why were they all dressed in identical black outfits? And where did the other children go who were living at the residence then?
