In The Family Upstairs, the master of bone-chilling suspense (People) brings us the cant-look-away story of three entangled families living in a house with the darkest of secrets. And the four other children reported to live at Cheyne Walk were gone. Downstairs in the kitchen lay three dead bodies, all dressed in black, next to a hastily scrawled note. When they arrived, they found a healthy ten-month-old happily cooing in her crib in the bedroom. Twenty-five years ago, police were called to 16 Cheyne Walk with reports of a baby crying. But what she cant possibly know is that others have been waiting for this day as well-and she is on a collision course to meet them. Everything in Libbys life is about to change. She soon learns not only the identity of her birth parents, but also that she is the sole inheritor of their abandoned mansion on the banks of the Thames in Londons fashionable Chelsea neighborhood, worth millions. She rips it open with one driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am.
