The Family Remains: the gripping Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller (The Family Upstairs, 2)

Product Information

I will own the little boy who I last saw looking at me in a mirror in a Chelsea townhouse all those years ago (393).

I was able to put most the pieces of the characters lives and plot backstory together with the little reminders scattered throughout the book. The story itself is interesting and Jewell keeps you in the dark about what the complete story is and how three distinct story lines are connected for the majority of the book. The bones are those of a young woman who had suffered blunt force trauma, DCI Samuel Owusu investigates as forensic evidence leads him to a Chelsea mansion in Cheyne Walk where 3 decades ago, three dead bodies were found in the kitchen. However, The Family Remains could be read as a stand alone book because Lisa Jewell does include many details about the previous book in the sequel. I definitely can’t wait to read more by this author, even if I didn’t love this one quite as much as the first book.

Lisa is a New York Times and Sunday Times number one bestselling author who has been published worldwide in over thirty languages.

MY THOUGHTS: I am so grateful to Lisa Jewell for overcoming her dislike of writing sequels and penning The Family Remains. Both Lucy and Henry were recipients of a very large inheritance that was left to Lucy’s oldest daughter, Libby Jones.Well, I am afraid to say that this morning the body of your husband, Michael Rimmer, was discovered by his housekeeper in the basement of his house in Antibes. There are three other intricately drawn “mysteries” within the story that connect the characters, and I don’t want to spoil that part.
