The Family Upstairs

In a large house in London’s chic Chelsea, a baby is content in her cot, well-fed and awaiting someone to pick her up. But in the kitchen, three decomposing bodies lie nearby, along with a hurriedly written note. The bodies have been dead for several days.

The questions arise: Who has been taking care of the baby, and where have they gone?

The Family Upstairs is a gripping thriller that weaves the stories of two intertwined families and a house filled with dark secrets.
