The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell is a great mystery/thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed! It takes place in multiple timelines, switching from the present day to the past. This story also contains three narrators.
The present-day story takes place in England and tells the story of Libby Jones, a girl who was orphaned and subsequently adopted as an infant. On her 25th birthday, she receives a letter from a solicitor. She has anticipated the arrival of this letter, but the content of the envelope leaves her speechless. According to the solicitor, her late parents have left her a mansion in Chelsea, one of London's poshest neighborhoods. Although the house is in less than pristine condition, Libby knows that her life of living paycheck to paycheck is about to change.
When we learn about the mansion's past and the tragic downfall of the wealthy family who once lived there.
