The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell
4.0
3.5
This is a difficult one to rate. The subject matter is pretty uncomfortable and the characters are quite unpleasant but it’s a fast read that keeps you guessing until the very end.
I can’t say I enjoyed it because, as I said, it’s bizarre and uncomfortable.
I actually looked at a flat on Cheyne Walk last year and can only imagine being significantly spooked if I’d chosen that flat and read this!
2023 Update: a few months after I read this the first time, I ended up moving a block north of Cheyne Walk. Any time I’d walk along Chelsea Embankment, I’d gawp at the houses along that street!
