mystery
This clever mystery questions how a well-to-do family
self-destructed to the point that the parents killed themselves and the
teenagers disappeared. The sole surviving family member, a 10-month old baby, had
been adopted into a good home after being found alive. Upon her 25th birthday she
inherits her birth family’s mansion and its mysteries.
The premise of The Family Upstairs was inviting and the way
Lisa Jewell told the story via three different points of view kept me
intrigued. I was riveted. The setting
was perfect, the characters were well-developed, and the desire to understand
how everything happened to them grabbed my interest. As with most mysteries,
there isn’t much to say without giving things away. But it’s definitely a great
read!
The three audiobook narrators were all wonderful. My only disappointment was that one of them
had an unemotional “narrator voice”, which I dislike. It was whichever one
voiced Lucy’s story and I’m guessing it was Bea Holland. The other narrators were Tamaryn Payne and
Dominic Thorburn. They all were
wonderful voice actors with a nice repertoire of voices. As an ensemble, I’ll
give them an A+.
