* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Book of the Month - Review by Jordan Moblo: Told from three alternating points of view, The Family Upstairs is a fast-paced whodunit that will keep you guessing until the final delicious sentence. If I had any issues with the book, it would be that my productive Sunday afternoon came to a screeching standstill when I naively thought it would be a good idea to start this unputdownable read. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Libby Jones was adopted as a baby and grew up wondering who her birth parents were. Now an adult, she is stunned to receive a letter not only informing her who her mom and dad were, but also notifying her that she is the sole beneficiary of their abandoned London mansion. Said mansion just happens to be the location where her parents were found dead 25 years ago (of course!!). As Libby begins to unravel the secrets around her parents’ deaths, she soon suspects she might not be the only relative looking for answers. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This pretty much sums it up for the PrincetonWalk Ladies, as well. A good who-dunnit which kept us reading and wanting more. Good discussion and a final review of 4 stars. For Nov: we will be reading
