Praise for The Family Upstairs: “Lisa Jewell has done it again—
rich, dark and intricately twisted, this enthralling whodunnit mixes family saga with domestic noir to brilliantly chilling effect.” —RUTH WARE,
New York Times bestselling author
“Your hands quake. Your breath fades. Your heart wallops your ribs. Medical emergency or Lisa Jewell novel? Few writers of psychological suspense devise such
swift, slippery plots; fewer still people their stories with
characters so human and complex. The Family Upstairs glitters like a blade and cuts even deeper.” —A. J. FINN,
New York Times bestselling author of
The Woman in the Window“A haunting, atmospheric, stay-up-way-too-late read. I was desperate to uncover all the twisting mysteries inside
The Family Upstairs, layer by tangled layer.
Eerie, suspenseful, and completely consuming.” —MEGAN MIRANDA,
New York Times bestselling author of
All the Missing Girls“I’ve just raced through the
brilliantly dark and disturbing The Family Upstairs. Absolutely couldn’t put it down, it’s so good!” —B. A. PARIS,
New York Times bestselling author of
Behind Closed Doors“I’m a big fan of Lisa’s books and had hoped to save it for my holiday next week, but failed miserably by devouring
The Family Upstairs as soon as it arrived.
I was hooked from the first page, I think it’s her best yet and hands down my favourite book so far this year.” —ALICE FEENEY,
New York Times bestselling author of
Sometimes I Lie“Absolutely brilliant. Great characterisation, a fascinating and dark set up and a great conclusion. She’s always great but
this is next level stuff.” —SARAH PINBOROUGH,

Highest possible level of recommendation.” —SOPHIE HANNAH,

Reminiscent of Donna Tartt in scope and quality.” —IAN RANKIN,

“An abandoned baby, a surprise inheritance, a cobwebbed Bohemian mansion—
The Family Upstairs is
rich in mystery from the very first page, and
Lisa Jewell’s best book yet.” —ERIN KELLY, author of
He Said, She Said“A stunning psychological thriller with a horrific, yet all too believable, family story at its centre.
Full of atmosphere and menace. I was gripped from the first page.” —ELLY GRIFFITHS, author of
The Stranger Diaries“Lisa Jewell is the most wonderful writer, and funnily enough we’ve written about a similar theme with our new books—cults, in microcosm and macrocosm.
The Family Upstairs is out 8 August and
I can’t rant enough about how brilliant it is.” —ALEX MARWOOD, author of
The Wicked Girls“Utterly compelling. Deliciously dark and twisty with characters who live on in your head. Lisa Jewell just keeps getting
better and better.” —JANE CORRY, author of
My Husband's Wife and
I Looked Away“Wow. Lisa Jewell has done it again. I absolutely loved
The Family Upstairs.
Intriguing, absorbing, unputdownable with characters so real they jump from the page.” —LAURA MARSHALL, author of
Three Little Lies and
Friend Request“Whenever I pick up a Lisa Jewell novel I know I'm for
a compelling, immersive and unputdownable read and
The Family Upstairs is one of her very best. It’s
an intriguing, claustrophobic and compelling mystery about a family that comes to stay and refuses to leave. I hugely enjoyed it and couldn't put it down.” —C. L. TAYLOR, author of
The Missing and
The Lie"An engrossing story." —People"Gloriously twisted." —Marie Claire
“Just having children does not make you a parent, and that truth is apparent in the pages of this book. A wealthy family in London seems to have everything—a great home, private schools, mentions in the press—but it is somehow not enough. Once you open the door to the unknown, can it really ever be closed? The influence of the charismatic egotist is told with flawless accuracy and stark images. In these situations, the children suffer the most; they are powerless and easy prey. This book details an unfolding family crisis where abuse can take many forms. Hard to put down and with several huge twists, The Family Upstairs will satisfy even the most discriminating fan. Lisa Jewell has exceeded all expectations!”
