Read on for more information about THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS, a direct link to my full review of the book, and, of course, my Q&A with Lisa Jewell. I’m so excited to share my Q&A with Lisa Jewell on her newest release with you today! Many thanks to Lisa for taking the time to answer my questions so thoughtfully, and to her fantastic US publicist for facilitating this conversation. If you’re looking for a fresh take on a domestic suspense novel, this book might just be your perfect fit. Using multiple narrators and shifting timelines to pitch-perfect effect, Jewell crafts an utterly addictive and engrossing story of family secrets in THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS. Years earlier, that mansion was the site of a bizarre - and unsolved - tragedy, involving the deaths of the home’s adult residents, and the disappearance of children who were thought to be living at the house at the time, too. In this twisty, dark story of psychological suspense, a young woman inherits her birth parents’ abandoned mansion in a posh London neighborhood-and inherits a dark legacy, too. I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome Lisa Jewell to Crime by the Book today to discuss her newest release, THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS. All of this is to say: Lisa Jewell really needs no introduction, but on the off chance that you, too, are a latecomer to Jewell and her binge-worthy brand of psychological suspense, allow this blog post to serve as your point of entry into this prolific author’s work. Jewell is the author of seventeen internationally bestselling novels, and her newest release, THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS, debuted on the New York Times bestsellers list. I devoured Jewell’s newest release THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS earlier this fall, and there’s no going back-I’m a Lisa Jewell fan for life. I’m a self-confessed latecomer to Lisa Jewell’s work, and I’ll be the first to admit it: I’ve been missing out.
