The Family Upstairs: A Novel

Hands down the best thriller I’ve ever read! So absorbed into the house! The characters! Cried! Shocked! Touched! It’s all in there! It’s just beyond belief with the twists! The end is a little chilling perhaps

Libby, upon reaching her 25th year, has finally received her inheritance and learned the truth (as it was known) about her birth family. What she really gets is a mystery and more questions. This story is her search for the members of her family who are left and the true story of what happened within the house she just inherited. Not bad, but not as great as the hype. I was able to guess the twist pretty soon in the book, maybe halfway, which is a disappointment but my standards may be unnecessarily high. I would definitely read more from this author but I am not as excited about other works as I was before.

Never really climaxes. Lots of characters, tricky to follow them all. But good

This was one of the best kind of thriller read till date. It is a one sitting read if you get used to the alternating time zones soon enough. Def rec!!
