Be careful who you let in.
Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby Jones returns home from work to find the letter she’s been waiting for her entire life. She rips it open with one driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am.
She soon learns not only the identity of her birth parents, but also that she is the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion on the banks of the Thames in London’s fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth millions. Everything in Libby’s life is about to change. But what she can’t possibly know is that others have been waiting for this day as well—and she is on a collision course to meet them.
Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying. When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom. Downstairs in the kitchen lay three dead bodies, all dressed in black, next to a hastily scrawled note. And the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone.

lucky lucky lucky me - for being able to read an ARC of this
Ms Jewell is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors
this is my 3rd read from her and it is my favorite
i literally could not put /did not want to put this book down- and i admit to finishing in just over a day
like the prior books i've read from her, this is packed with a wonderful setting,compelling and well written characters that you care about, and a twisty plot
in both of the other two books i read (then she was gone and the girls in the garden) there was such a sense of bittersweetness /heartbreak for me.
in The Family Upstairs, there was that but with a bit of a happier resolution so to speak...until the the ending of this book and a certain character...oh you devil you Ms Jewell! I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED it - and oh i can't say more(it'll ruin things if i do) but if you've read and enjoyed her books in the past - great ready... and if you've yet to read Ms Jewell- now is a fine time to start
