Family upstairs (Random House)

The Number One bestseller from the author of Then She Was Gone '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 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$385 And where did they go$386 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.' - RUTH WARE 'You don't read a Lisa Jewell book, you fall into it.

It takes huge talent to establish a whole world in the turn of two pages.' - ERIN KELLY 'I had an unrelentingly pleasurable and thrilling for-God's-sake-tell-me-what-happened sensation in my stomach for the entire read...

Stupendous!' - RUTH JONES '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 'Few writers of psychological suspense devise such swift, slippery plots; fewer still people their stories with characters so human and complex.

Lisa's Jewell's The Family Upstairs glitters like a blade and cuts even deeper.' - AJ FINN 'Whenever I pick up a Lisa Jewell novel I know I'm in for a compelling, immersive and unputdownable read and The Family Upstairs is one of her very best' - CL TAYLOR 'I had hoped to save The Family Upstairs for my holiday, but failed miserably...

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 'Utterly compelling. 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.
