The upstairs roomKate Murray-Browne2017

Eleanor and Richard have stretched themselves to the limit to buy the perfect home - a tall Victorian townhouse with enough room for their growing family. But the cracks are already starting to show. Eleanor is unnerved by the eerie atmosphere in the house and is convinced it is making her ill. Their two young daughters are restless and unsettled; three-year-old Rosie misbehaves and points to an imaginary girl.

Richard, still positive they've found the house of their dreams, is more preoccupied with Zoe: their alluring, mercurial twenty-seven- year-old lodger. As Eleanor's symptoms intensify, she becomes determined to unravel the mystery of the family who last lived in the house. Who were the Ashworths? Why did they leave in such a hurry! And why is the name Emily written hundreds of times on the walls of the upstairs room...?
