Résumé : 'I swear I didn¿t breathe the whole time I was reading it. Gripping, pacy, brilliantly twisty.¿ CLARE MACKINTOSH `Creepy, intricate and utterly immersive: an excellent holiday read.' GUARDIAN `A twisty and engrossing story of betrayal and redemption.¿ IAN RANKIN ____________________________ FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THEN SHE WAS GONE 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. A compulsive new thriller from Lisa Jewell. ____________________________ 'Rich, dark and intricately twisted , this enthralling whodunnit mixes family saga with domestic noir to brilliantly chilling effect.'

Deliciously dark and twisty with characters who live on in your head. Lisa Jewell just keeps getting better and better.¿ JANE CORRY `This is my pick of the crop of thrillers out this month ¿ Lisa Jewell is brilliant at creating a menacing atmosphere and this is almost unbelievably tense at times. ¿ GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 'It¿s absolutely bloody brilliant and I can¿t tell you much I wish I¿d written it.' TAMMY COHEN `It¿s SO GOOD!¿ INDIA KNIGHT 'I loved The Family Upstairs !' SARAH JESSICA PARKER ____________________________ Readers are obsessed with The Family Upstairs: `I read so many books in the crime/mystery genre that it becomes harder to find a book that stands out.
