5/12/2023 0 Comments The family upstairs novel![]() ![]() Her parents and a third, unidentified man were found dead Libby was upstairs, perfectly happy and the other children in the house disappeared. When Libby was a baby, she was found in a house at the scene of what was apparently a ritualistic suicide, and now the house is hers. When Libby turns twenty-five, she inherits a house that was in a trust for her. Despite some decent writing, The Family Upstairs is ultimately a poorly constructed mystery that falls apart the closer you look and which expresses some deeply unsettling ideas (and not the good, thriller-y kind). I was willing to go into The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell expecting the best, but unfortunately I did not get the best. ![]() Thrillers aren’t my thing, but I have read some exceptional ones ( Gone Girl comes to mind). I have my favorite genres, but I always hope that when I read something else I’ll love it so much that I’ll be converted. I try to keep an open mind when I read outside my comfort zone. ![]()
