Description:

In this gripping sequel to The Family Upstairs, the long-buried secrets of that notorious Chelsea house refuse to stay hidden. When a bag of human bones is discovered on the banks of the Thames, a police investigation reopens questions about the deaths and disappearances that haunted the family years before. Across London and beyond, the survivors of that strange household — now adults trying to build new lives — find their pasts catching up with them, as old connections resurface and dangerous truths edge toward the light. Told through multiple voices and shifting timelines, Lisa Jewell weaves grief, revenge, obsession, and reinvention into a tense, twisting story. Picking up the threads left dangling in the first book, it follows each character toward a reckoning none of them can outrun. A compelling read for fans of dark, character-driven suspense.
