Description
Jenna’s back on the rooftops again but this time not as a child. Now she hunts a killer.
Jenna Elson has tried to escape her troubled past, but her uncle’s sudden death has brought her home to London.The police have ruled the death accidental but Jenna’s aunt is screaming murder. Wheelchair-bound and as formidable as ever, Aunt Clair urges Jenna to play their old game of “be my eyes” and search for clues from her childhood refuge far above the city streets.
Though Jenna knows every chimney and every dormer of those Victorian rooftops, the night landscape has changed. Renovations and skylights have made spying on the neighbours easier—even addictive—but navigating her old sanctuary has become treacherous: a killer lurks nearby and nowhere is safe.
When Jenna’s sleuthing comes to a crashing end leaving her memory damaged, she knows she’s lost something crucial amid her brain’s scrambled images. Dark revelations challenge her trust in those closest to her and danger is stalking her every step. But time is running out and Jenna must pull herself together before death strikes the final blow and takes everything she loves with it.Downside Up, Book 1 in a trilogy, is a pulse-pounding psychological suspense. If you like character-driven thrills, lavish settings, and twists that will leave you guessing, then you’ll love this addictive new series.
Advance Praise
I have enjoyed all of Jane's books but in this one, Jane gives the readers a new perspective on what goes on when you observe from the rooftops. No one seems to remember that old adage - always remember to look up - and therefore, the main character Jenna gets and gives full eyeprints of the happenings in the homes of her London square. Jenna's beloved uncle has died and her aunt is convinced that he was murdered, and since her aunt is homebound, it becomes Jenna's task and adventure to discover the truth about his death. She encounters an old woman with cats, a family with twins, a gardener who loves to cut things down, a woman hating artist, and a Shakespearean actor with a love inspiring voice. Everyone has something to hide, and it is Jenna's job to discern what lurks beneath the surface of her neighbors' lives. Jane Thornley has that unique ability to blend suspense, modern technology, adventure, and romance into a very satisfying read - I won't spoil the surprises but I know you will be intrigued until the final page - 5 Stars Amazon
