Summary
How well do you know your neighbour?
Would you trust them with your life?
I heard Emily before I saw her. The harsh smack of heels against cheap wooden floorboards. The loud phone calls. The incessant music.
I knew Emily before I met her. Discarded receipts in our communal hallway. Sticky leftovers in the shared food waste bin. Wine shop vouchers in the letterbox.
Now she’s gone missing, and I’m the only one who can find her. The only one who can save her.
Because I know her best, and I heard everything.
The Girl Upstairs is a spine-tingling psychological thriller of grief and obsession that explores how lonely London can be and how sometimes it’s our neighbours who see us most, who know us best....
A must-listen for fans of Lisa Jewell and Sarah Pinborough.

Solid debut
This is a slow burn of a book, for sure, but it's a pace I enjoy when a story is well written. I did not manage to guess what was going on, there are a lot of twists and I probably suspected every possible scenario except the actual one. There's a lot of grief involved throughout the book, but I was satisfied with the outcome and liked the hopeful ending to the story. Meg Travers did an excellent job with the narration.

Slow starter that’s well read
Story is slow to get going, many of the early chapters feel slightly wasted although the second half of the book is much better with several twists and turns that surprised me.
Exquisitely read by Meg, cannot fault her reading.

Thoroughly disappointing
The narrator is ok and has a very gentle tone but there is no nuance to her voice and no character given to each person; it was hard to distinguish who was saying what.
The plot was boring and drawn out and the end left me saying “is that it??”.
I really can’t give any more details on this because it was just so incredibly dull, there isn’t much to say other than, swerve this book of you want excitement, a twist or a plot that doesn’t make you want to fall asleep.

Brilliant!
This one was one I couldn’t put down! Not only is it gripping it tells the story of survival, determination & love.
I always look for the twist in any thriller type book i read and this one didn’t disappoint although I did guess about half way through who & what would of happened
Not the ending you would think of either which was a little disappointing

VERY DISAPPOINTED!
There was no real twist in the end. I got bored almost immediately but persevered until the end just to find out what the twist was. The cover is very deceiving...there was no real connection between the characters at all. Waste of a credit!
