The Family Upstairs: A Novel

On her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby Jones receives a letter revealing her birth parents' identities and that she has inherited their abandoned mansion on the Thames in Chelsea, London, worth millions. She is unaware that others have been waiting for this moment and are now on a collision course to meet her. Twenty-five years earlier, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk after reports of a baby crying. They found a healthy ten-month-old in her crib upstairs, but discovered three dead bodies dressed in black in the kitchen, along with a hastily written note. Four other children who lived at the house had disappeared. The Family Upstairs tells the story of three entangled families living in a house harboring dark secrets, as buried secrets from the past threaten to surface.
