In a large house in London's fashionable Chelsea, a baby is awake in her cot. Well-fed and cared for, she is happily waiting for someone to pick her up.
In the kitchen lie three decomposing corpses. Close to them is a hastily scrawled note.
They've been dead for several days.
Who has been looking after the baby?
And where did they go?
Two entangled families.
A house with the darkest of secrets.

Trade ReviewI swear
I didn’t breathe the whole time I was reading. Gripping, pacy, brilliantly twisty.
Rich, dark and intricately twisted, this enthralling whodunnit mixes family saga with domestic noir to
brilliantly chilling effect.
Twisty and
engrossing story of betrayal and redemption. Reminiscent of Donna Tartt in scope and quality
Few writers of psychological suspense devise such
swift, slippery plots; fewer still people their stories with characters so human and
complex. Lisa’s Jewell’s
The Family Upstairs glitters like a blade and cuts even deeper.Creepy, intricate and
utterly immersive: an
excellent holiday read. * Guardian *
