by Lisa Jewell

❗Nominee for Goodreads Best Thriller 2019

➡️ The Family Upstairs is shocking, tragic, upsetting, emotive and twisty. The chapters are short, sharp and they unquestionably command your full attention. The characters move from trustworthy and sympathetic to utterly unreliable... superb!
