Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
London. Early morning, June 2019: on the foreshore of the river Thames, a bag of bones is discovered. Human bones.
DCI Samuel Owusu is called to the scene and quickly sends the bag for forensic examination. The bones are those of a young woman, killed by a blow to the head many years ago.
Also inside the bag is a trail of clues, in particular the seeds of a rare tree which lead DCI Owusu back to a mansion in Chelsea where, nearly 30 years previously, three people lay dead in a kitchen, and a baby waited upstairs for someone to pick her up.
The clues point forward too to a brother and sister in Chicago searching for the only person who can make sense of their pasts.
Four deaths. An unsolved mystery. A family whose secrets can't stay buried for ever....
Prepare to be hooked.
The sequel to million-copy best-seller The Family Upstairs.

Incredible sequence from The Family Upstairs
For those who is wondering… it’s easy to understand the story of The Family Remains if you haven’t read The Family Upstairs.
But the thrilling and excitement of the story will be way more captivating if you read them in the sequence. I loved both books! Can’t wait to read another novel from Lisa Jewell.

Absolutely brilliant!
I’m not one to submit written reviews but I have not hesitated for this book. It’s been a while since I read The Family Upstairs so had forgotten some of the story but this new book weaves the first storyline all through it as the continuing story unfolds. Absolutely brilliant Lisa Jewell!!

Great Characters
The story was great and interwoven. Interesting players across the story. Poses some moral questions that don’t necessarily have an answer.

Gripping sequel!
Loved it so much. I didn’t realise it was a sequel to family upstairs until I started listening and luckily I had already listened to the first book. I was so happy that story would continue!!! It was very intense and found myself gasping.

Couldn't stop listening!
Part 2 did not disappoint and wanting to listen every chance I had. Each characters story was as intriguing as the next, very thought out and enhanced by the choice of narrators. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Woven into first book and each characters story, very satisfying
It was a treat to learn the whole picture and future of the characters, the emotional connections and pieces of the puzzle that helped pull it all together in a well paced and well constructed story across international borders, satisfying outcomes that were revealed beautifully.
