Lesley Kara is still the queen of thrillers with this twisty and dark story!

Lauren North, author of SAFE AT HOME

THE APARTMENT UPSTAIRS is taut, tense, dark and claustrophobic with a creeping sense of menace and a cast of compelling characters. I gulped it down in two sittings.

Gilly Macmillan, bestselling author of THE NANNY and THE LONG WEEKEND

Clever and twisty with some brilliant examination of loyalties between friends and within families.

Catherine Cooper, author of THE CHALET

Lesley Kara always delivers. The Apartment Upstairs is a brilliantly written, immersive thriller that draws readers into a twisty world of secrets and murder, and doesn't let go until the very last page. Highly recommended.

Adam Hamdy, bestselling author of PENDULUM

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

A satisfying thriller that oozes with menace.

Woman's Own

This brilliant novel takes every twist and turn possible. A personal and moving look at familial bonds, women's safety and dating. Kara has woven a thick and nuanced plot.

Lesley returns with her best thriller yet - The Apartment Upstairs is the sort of read that will have you listening out for creaks in the floorboards from other rooms. A perfect blend of complex, human characters and unrelenting suspense. Lesley Kara is incomparable.

Jack Jordan, author of DO NO HARM

A shocking crime, an intriguing cast of suspects and a compelling mystery make this thriller a thoroughly gripping and twisty read. I read it in a single day and will be thinking about the characters for a long time to come.
