Finished: The Family Upstairs (Jewell) A good, rather convoluted book, but still another page-turner. Twenty-five years in the past three bodies are found in a prominent mansion in, Chelsea, an upscale neighborhood in London. Even more mysterious, a baby girl is found upstairs in a crib, left all alone in the huge house. In the present day, twenty-five year old Libby, who was adopted at ten months old, receives a letter that she has inherited an estate in Chelsea today, on her twenty-fifth birthday. What follows is a wild story going back and forth in time. The family growing up in the estate,years before is the Lamb family, Henry Sr., Martina, Henry Jr., 11, and Lucy, 10. They are a happy family until they let various strangers start "staying" with them, who actually end up moving in and never leaving. A family moves in with two children the same age as the Lamb children, Phin, 12 and Clemency, 10. Their father, David, is a con-man, but becomes like a cult leader as things get worse and worse, especially after Henry Sr. suffers a stroke. The women of the house become mesmerized by David even as he continues to liquidate all the Lamb assets in the name of charity donations, but keeps the money for himself. Meanwhile, Henry Jr. becomes obsessed with Phin "the most beautiful human he's ever seen" and Lucy becomes best friends with Clemency. By the time the kids are teenagers, they've been abused, starved, held prisoner in their rooms, and more. They all know that they need to escape somehow. When Martina becomes pregnant, and not by her disabled husband, Henry Jr. has had enough. When the police find the three bodies that night, there are no teenagers to be found in the house...just the baby. Do they make it out okay? Have they become victims? Are they around when Libby turns twenty-five? You'll have to turn those pages like I did and find out how it all goes. :-) It took me until about the third chapter to really get into it because so many new characters were being introduced...but once things got going, they never stopped.
