It is interesting and keeps you wanting to keep on reading. I will buy from this seller again as the price was good and it arrived quickly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A really good read! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 June 2023* It’s been a while since I have read one of this author’s books and I could give myself a hard shake at all the fantastic reads I will have been missing out on of which I will be rectifying that as soon as possible.This story is one seriously twisted read. Right from the off I was desperate to know more about the events that led to three dead bodies as well as a baby girl being found alive. What happened to the lead up to the tragedy? The chapters flick between past and present with the past ones teasing you and will have you jumping to conclusions.Lucy was one particular character I really enjoyed. I don’t want to say too much but some parts were emotional to read of yet I loved her strength and she was a character whose chapters I looked forward to reading as she was one of my favourites. There are however a few unlikeable characters, one in particular who plays mind games with your head. My feelings for them kept changing throughout the whole story and even having finished the book, I am not one hundred percent certain how I feel about them. If I have some empathy or if they are in fact just evil.The Family Upstairs is a novel that readers will be unable to drag themselves away from. It is extremely addictive with so many twists and turns that I never knew what to expect next. It kept me on my toes up until the very last page of which I am absolutely thrilled to see there is a follow on to this one called, The Family Remains. I have a feeling the darkness and twistiness of this one will be something readers will also have to look forward to in that one. A really good read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very creepy and very dark! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 September 2020* I remember hearing Lisa Jewell talk about The Family Upstairs when I was at the Theakston Crime Festival back in 2019. Hearing Lisa speak about her book made me want to buy it as I thought the idea sounded so unique and so chilling. It did not disappoint; I’m only sorry that it’s taken me this long to read it.Twenty-five-year old Libby can’t believe her luck when out of the blue; Libby discovers that she has inherited a mansion in Chelsea. The property has been held in trust for her since she was a baby. Libby has no idea about her past or the dark secrets that are connected with it. The moment she steps foot in her new home, she realises there is something very eerie about the place. Soon the secrets of her past come back to haunt her.This book is steeped in mystery. As Libby starts to learn more about her past, I wanted to find out more about her family, and the cult, it’s said, that she was born into. I wanted to know why she was the only one who survived, when the rest of her family were killed, and where her siblings were who disappeared. Libby teams up with a journalist, Miller, to try and uncover what really happened in the house all those years ago. He has previously tried to find the answers, but now that he has Libby on board, he feels that he is one step closer to getting to the truth.Definitely, the most chilling scenes in this book were when Lisa Jewell takes us back in time before Libby was born. It made it even more disturbing to think of Libby staying in the house where the dreadful things Lisa Jewell describes, once happened. It made me think that someone was watching her and that it was only going to be a matter of time before she discovered who that was. The flashback scenes are filled with a strong sense of foreboding, especially when Libby’s family, first become acquainted with their new guests. You can see that there is something off here with them right from the start and I wanted to know what it was that they were planning.The story is also told from the point of view of a character called Lucy. I connected with Lucy straight away, and you can’t help but feel sorry for her, as she struggles to keep her family together. Lucy is currently living abroad, but she is desperate to get back to the UK. It is clear that she has to go to extreme lengths to achieve this goal, to ensure safe passage for her and her children, but what connection does she have to Libby?The Family Upstairs is very creepy right from the start, and it is very dark. It kept me asking questions as I was reading it. I’ve only read one other thriller by Lisa Jewell, and I need to catch up on the rest. This is a complex, multi-layered book that is very cleverly constructed. I thought it culminated in a very satisfactory ending as well. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Family Upstairs - Never Lie : A Totally Gripping Thriller with Mind-bending Twists - The Housemaid : An addictive psychological thriller with mind-bending twists --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/168963545-the-family-upstairs](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/168963545-the-family-upstairs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
