Human bones.ĭCI Samuel Owusu is called to the scene and quickly sends the bag for forensic examination. Early morning, June 2019: on the foreshore of the river Thames, a bag of bones is discovered. Shaped by the past, but – given 25-26 years have gone by – much has changed anyway.
Having said that, I think you’ll be not-entirely-lost if you haven’t read its predecessor, as much of this novel is less about what happened in the past (even though it involves an investigation into a murder at the time), than it is about events unfolding in the present. I didn’t remember the details but (reading my old review and some others on Goodreads) helped remind me of the backstory. I think – in all honesty – it works better having read the original. I’ve not read all of Jewell’s books but had read that one and one of our narrators was offering a bit of a recap and I thought, “That sounds familiar…” before going onto Goodreads to discover this was – in fact – a follow-up.
I hadn’t realised new release The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell was a sequel to the popular The Family Upstairs, published in 2019.
