“Good read, and listen. A little slow at the start to give characters time to develop, but picked up and kept me reading”

“Beginning with a body, long-ago murdered, washing up on a bank of the Thames, The Family Remains takes the listener on a wonderfully twisting journey to learn the victim’s identity - and so much more. In this exceptionally well-crafted suspenseful story of dark secrets past and present, Jewell masterfully weaves together the lives of her characters, keeping me wondering for many chapters how some of the characters and events were connected.”

“If you liked The Family Upstairs, this sequel will not disappoint! And if you didn’t read The Family Upstairs, I recommend you read that first. Like all of Jewell’s books, this is a page-turning thriller. I quickly became re-absorbed in the lives of the Lamb family, which include tragedy, twisted marriages and unhealthy obsessions. It’s actually hard to believe there can be more dark history to be revealed about the family. The addition of new characters and the evolution of original ones expand the storyline in dramatic and entertaining ways.”

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
“The page-turner will sate fans and win over new readers alike…a solid stand-alone tale of mystery and suspense.” —USA TODAY
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell comes an intricate and affecting novel about twisted marriages, fractured families, and deadly obsessions in this stand-alone sequel to the “brilliantly chilling” (Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author) The Family Upstairs.
Early one morning on the shore of the Thames, DCI Samuel Owusu is called to the scene of a gruesome discovery. When Owusu sends the evidence for examination, he learns the bones are connected to a cold case that left three people dead on the kitchen floor in a Chelsea mansion thirty years ago.
Rachel Rimmer has also received a shock—news that her husband, Michael, has been found dead in the cellar of his house in France. All signs point to an intruder, and the French police need her to come urgently to answer questions about Michael and his past that she very much doesn’t want to answer.
After fleeing London thirty years ago in the wake of a horrific tragedy, Lucy Lamb is finally coming home. While she settles in with her children and is just about to purchase their first-ever house, her brother takes off to find the boy from their shared past whose memory haunts their present.
As they all race to discover answers to these convoluted mysteries, they will come to find that they’re connected in ways they could have never imagined.
In this masterful standalone sequel to her haunting New York Times bestseller, The Family Upstairs, Lisa Jewell proves she is writing at the height of her powers with another jaw-dropping, intricate, and affecting novel about the lengths we will go to protect the ones we love and uncover the truth.
Lisa Jewell is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of nineteen novels, including The Family Upstairs and Then She Was Gone, as well as Invisible Girl and Watching You.
