À propos de cet audio

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Other authors are at a ten out of ten, for me, and Lisa is a solid hundred.” —Gillian McAllister, The Sunday Times (London) bestselling author of Wrong Place Wrong Time

The #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell weaves a “simply masterful” (Samantha Downing, internationally bestselling author) thriller about twisted marriages, fractured families, and deadly obsessions in this stand-alone sequel to 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—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 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 is a superb writer at the top of her game” (Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author) with another jaw-dropping, intricate, and affecting novel about the lengths we will go to protect the ones we love and uncover the truth.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Bea Holland, Dominic Thorburn, Hugh Quarshie, Eleanor Tomlinson, Josh Dylan, and Thomas Judd create timeless characters as they narrate this intricate story about childhood trauma and its repercussions. The discovery of a decades-old body forces the characters to unearth secrets while desperately protecting family members from them. Portraying siblings, Holland and Thorburn transition seamlessly between British and American accents. Quarshie injects a detective with credible practicality and skepticism. Dylan infuses his tween character with wisdom and clarity. Tomlinson embodies her character with emotion that ranges from the giddiness of new love to the terror and rage of betrayal. Judd takes us from mystery to resolution with his character. Working well together, these narrators will make listeners thankful they have merely average lives."

Loved this book - it’s my favourite Lisa Jewell so far. Must be read followed by The Family Upstairs as this provides the context for what is in this novel.

What I like about Ms Jewell’s writing is that it feels as if it were purposefully written to be read out loud. Great performances - totally likeable!!

Best ever Lisa Jewell - a natural book to be read out loud.

I really enjoyed this second book and happy I read the first one, The Family Upstairs. I would recommend
reading the first book before this one. Story was very good and narrators too.

Excellent follow up

A little confusing and a simplistic view of childhood trauma and abuse. But overall an ok story

A little confusing

I'm so glad Jewell wrote what is the missing part of the first book, bringing proper closure to the lives of the characters and wrapping it up neatly for us. The performances of the voice actors was great, I wouldn't want anything changed. If you've read The Family Upstairs, you should really follow it up with The Family Remains.

An exciting, riveting follow up to The Family Upstairs

Not my favorite Lisa Jewel. It was kind of stupid, lol
I think a lot of it had to do with jumping back and forth

Not bad but not worth the wait of the preorder
