Judy's Review:
I adored this book. I’ve been craving to read the sequel to THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS ever since I finished it, and Lisa Jewell hasn’t let me or her millions of fans down.
A black bin liner full of old bones found on the banks of the Thames leads the police back to the Lamb family. Their rich and privileged lives in a Chelsea mansion were destroyed thirty years before by a deranged cult leader who moved his family into their house.
The children (their parents left for dead) disappeared and are now tracked down in this engrossingly captivating sequel. Lucy Lamb, her brother Henry, and Phineas Thomsen, the son of the psychopathic control freak who invaded the Cheyenne Walk mansion, have been scattered by trauma.
Now, decades on, they are reunited, with heart-stopping results.
