THE TWISTY NEW THRILLER FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE RUMOUR

Scarlett's aunt lived - and was brutally murdered - in the apartment upstairs. But Scarlett is determined that life should return to some kind of normal, even if that means living with just a ceiling between her and the scene of such a devastating crime. After all, this is her home. She's safe here. Isn't she?

Dee is busy balancing her job as a funeral director with organizing an event to mark the disappearance of her best friend, ten years ago. So she's got enough on her plate without worrying about the threatening messages that are appearing on her company's Facebook page.

When Scarlett approaches Dee about planning her aunt's funeral, an unexpected link emerges between them. Together, the two women could uncover secrets that have long been buried. Even while someone wants to stop them digging . . .

Reviews for The Apartment Upstairs

Startlingly original . . . It's hard to think of a recent novel than can match Kara's for an almost unbearable level of suspense. * Sunday Times * Kara uses the old box of tricks so effectively, misdirecting your attention with expert cunning and then biffing you on the back of the head with her twists. * Daily Mirror (praise for THE DARE) * A powerful, compelling tale about dark secrets that won't stay buried, with a palpable sense of dread that builds on every page * T. M. Logan, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE HOLIDAY, THE CATCH and TRUST ME * I loved this absorbing, twisty mystery - Lesley Kara has done it again! * Shari Lapena, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR * Twisty and tense, another great read from Lesley Kara. * B.A. Paris, bestselling author of THE THERAPIST *
