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

Product Information

I LOVED The Family Upstairs so much when I read it last month… yes I was late to the game… 🤫…I couldn’t wait to see what happened to our little family next… 😳 If you remember how the last book ended.. you will know why I was anxiously awaiting..😏 Do you think Phin meeting Libby and potentially returning to the lives of the Lamb family will allow them all to heal? Do you see a brighter future for the Lamb family with the re-emergence of Phin?

A year ago I listened to The Family Upstairs, the first book in the Family Upstairs series. The Family Remains is the second book (will there be more?) in the series and it's just as confusing, disturbing, and creepy as the first book. Of course it is, we still have some of the weird characters from the first book, going strong, and doing all their creepy things to other people. Were you surprised that Lucy helped the police find Henry in Chicago. Why do you think she helped them? Would Henry have done the same, if their roles were reversed? I’d like to thank Netgalley UK, Random House UK – Cornerstone, Century, and Lisa Jewell for the e-ARC.It all starts with a bang: detective Samuel Owusu is called to a scene where thirty year old bones are discovered… these bones are connected to a case that has never been solved. There are three other intricately drawn “mysteries” within the story that connect the characters, and I don’t want to spoil that part. This sequel started with a dead body, as these thrillers often do, and the opening of a twenty year old mystery. But what this leads into is more and more family drama, multiple twisting subplots that eventually, over the course of time, wind together and paint a bigger picture. In "The Family Upstairs," Jewell introduced us toLibby Jones, awoman who inherits a home worth millions of dollars in the fashionable Chelsea neighborhood ofLondon. Along the way, she discoversthe Lamb family. Throughmultiple narratives, Jewell thrilledreaders with a suspenseful tale in which each characteris as intriguing and inventive as Libby, so much sothat the endingleft readers and the author alike wanting to know more about the futureofthe Lamb family.

Furthermore, I would categorise Henry, Lucy, and Marco’s story as more family drama/secrets/tragedy, with Rachel’s being more domestic thriller, and a dash of police procedural thrown in. They also found traces of Phineas, living in Botswana. They even plan a family reunion but Lucy finds out Phin already hit the road as soon as he found out their intention. Ok I'm cutting myself off lmao. Anyways. I'm obviously an outlier (what's new) but really this book just fell a part in the last 25% and I couldn't in good conscience give it anything higher than a one.She currently lives in Swiss Cottage, London with her husband Jascha, and daughters Amelie Mae (born 2003) and Evie Scarlett (born 2007). [4] Bibliography [ edit ] Novels [ edit ] In 2008 she was awarded the Melissa Nathan Award For Comedy Romance for her novel 31 Dream Street. [7]

This is the continuation of that story, and for those of you who felt like you needed to know "the rest of the story" about Henry, Lucy, Libby, and Phin, your wish is granted because this helps to flesh out and further their storylines so you know what happens to them in the present day.Mrs. Rimmer. I am afraid I am calling you with some very distressing news. Please, tell me. Are you alone?” The book is purposefully convoluted but at times it just felt too disorienting. In the beginning, I debated abandoning this, but wanted to see how Jewel would bring it all together. I was impressed by the ending.
