About this listen
‘Compelling, heartbreaking and beautifully written. This superb thriller will stay in my mind for a very long time’ B P Walter, Sunday Times-bestselling author of The Dinner Guest
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.

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.

my opinion?
I mostly enjoyed it but sometimes it gets wrapped up in the detail unnecessarily.

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

Brilliant Debut
Georgina Lees has written an impressive debut novel. The more you read, the more the story unfolds and the less time you will put the book down. She shows a remarkable perception of thinking you know someone and how that often (nearly always) differs from reality. There is a sense of loneliness and sadness coupled with a slow paced unfolding of the story. Can't wait for her next book!

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.

JUST DOESN'T HIT THE SPOT FOR ME
A good 3🌟 listen but nothing special for those like me who like lots of twists and turns and like to be gripped. It's a good story and one you can listen to whilst doing other things, as it doesn't take too much concentration. It didn't make me want to rush back to it or gush to other people about it but it's not terrible. I did want to listen to the end as there was just enough going on to keep me interested.
I'm glad I got it for £2.99 on Whisper Sync rather than using a credit on it.

Not enough story for a whole book
Whilst I enjoyed the narration I didn't feel there was enough of a plot to stretch to a whole book. the middle of the book felt desperately stretched and nothing happened except for too many descriptions of London. I finished it but only because I'd persevered for so long.

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!
