Lisa Jewell

We're joined on today's episode by Lisa Jewell, the author of a host of suspenseful, psychologically twisty novels that include I Found You, The Girls in the Garden, and the New York Times bestseller Then She Was Gone. She's been called "a master of bone-chilling suspense" and she joins us today to talk about her riveting new novel The Family Upstairs, a fascinating story in which a young woman's lifetime quest to discover her real identity turns dark when she finds herself the inheritor of a London mansion with a terrible history. And Libby's story is only one path in the beguiling labyrinth Lisa Jewell leads us down in The Family Upstairs. We were so transfixed by her storytelling that we chose The Family Upstairs as the latest selection in the Barnes & Noble Book Club — and Lisa Jewell joined B&N's Miwa Messer by phone to talk about the creation of this enthralling tale.
