Book Review of The Family Upstairs

The Family Upstairs
reviewed on


"The Family Upstairs" by Lisa Jewell is an intriguing psychological thriller that keeps you guessing. The book is well-written and filled with suspense, with multiple narrators providing different perspectives that gradually piece together the dark and twisted family secrets.

While the plot is engaging and the characters are well-developed, it can sometimes be challenging to keep track of the various timelines and narrators. The pacing also feels uneven at times, with certain parts dragging on while others feel rushed.

Overall, it's a good read for fans of the genre, but it may not fully satisfy those looking for a perfectly executed thriller. 3 stars.
