Lisa: The Family Upstairs [is] a story told from the point of view of three different people. The first person we meet is Libby Jones. Libby is twenty-five years old. She lives in a small town just outside London. She sells design kitchens for a living. She's a very sensible girl. She's a very organized girl. She doesn't really do spontaneity or surprising things. She was adopted as a baby. She's known all her life that on her twenty-fifth birthday she’ll find out what her birth parents have been holding in trust for her. She's got no idea what it is. We meet her in the first chapter opening a letter from the solicitors to tell her what this is, her bequest from her birth parents. She discovers that she has inherited an eight-bedroom mansion in Chelsea overlooking the River Thames, which is a quite extraordinary thing. She also finds out when she goes to visit the house with the solicitor that this house comes with a whole host of terrible, terrible, dark secrets.
