The epilogue of ‘The Family Upstairs’ in a whole book! 🏠
A bag of bones is found in the Rive Thames. Readers of ‘The Family Upstairs‘ already know how it got there—and who it is. For DI Samuel Owusu, however, it marks the start of a quest for the truth! ‘The Family Remains’ was fun to read, but for much of the time, it felt like a 450-page epilogue of the prequel. The story was narrated in Lisa Jewell’s signature gripping and tense style, switching between different POVs, places and times. But there were hardly any new revelations or unexpected twists. It’s a great read if you enjoyed the creepy atmosphere and unconventional characters of ‘The Family Upstairs’, but not something you should pick up purely for the plot.
