**Loved THE FAMILY UPSTAIRS? Find out what happened next ...**
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 thirty 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 ...

Missed the mark a little
Really enjoyed the first book, one of my fav of all time and got me back into reading murder mysteries. But found this book to have a-lot of filler. Too many “chase scenes” not enough plot perhaps another story entirely about the house, or about the parents of the previous book growing up and how they meet would have been more interesting as the best part about the first book was the slow unraveling of the story and how the characters were revealed
