Downside Up
Jenna’s back on the roof again. But she's no longer a troubled child. This time she's hunting 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.
"The storytelling is fantastic. There's a wonderful blend of description rooting you firmly in each scene and character voice and action."
"A thrilling page-turner that leaves you wanting more..."
"Excellent, suspenseful story!"
"Wow!"
"...her descriptions put you there ... exactly there!"

Enjoyed the plot and some of the red herrings planted along the way. The heroine's childhood adventure of using the roof tops as her way to escape poor parenting made for an interesting look at the world. Will look for Book 2 in series. The author's other series CRIME BY DESIGN is not in kindle format and so will wait for other options to get more of her books.

In Downside Up, Jane Thornley delivers a thrilling page-turner that had me up late, frantically turning pages, trying to figure out who the killer was.
Summary:
Jenna Elson had a troubled childhood, which she escaped from at every chance she could. When she was young, with Aunt Clair’s urging, and to Uncle Dan’s chagrin, it took the form of “roofing”—scaling Marlytree Terrace, where they lived, and spying on the lives of the people below. Now that she’s older and found her escape by traveling the world, Jenna finds herself drawn back to London, and things have changed.
To start with, Uncle Dan is dead, and though it was ruled accidental, Aunt Clair seems to think it was murder. To make matters worse, Aunt Clair has enlisted the help of two young men—Jake the gardener and Harry/Henry the tech wiz—and immediately starts making changes to the house.
But not everything’s changed. Jenna had thought her roofing days were past her; she was wrong. She revives her childhood game with help from her aunt to try to uncover her uncle’s killer. The suspect: Brian Dunn, an artist with a penchant for brutal nude slasher paintings.
Things become even more complicated when Jenna takes a dive through the skylight of one Nicholas Hewitt, a handsome actor with a killer voice—potentially literally. After sustaining a mild concussion, Jenna wakes to find her memories scattered and fragmented. All she knows for sure is that it’s vital to regain her memories, because that night holds the key to uncovering the truth behind her uncle’s death. And one thing’s for certain: the killer’s not done yet with the residents of Marlytree Terrace.
The Good:
- The storytelling is fantastic. There’s a wonderful blend of description rooting you firmly in each scene and character voice and action. The plot unfolds naturally, in a way that keeps the reader engaged but constantly guessing. I’m usually pretty darn good at figuring out the killer in mysteries, but I was slightly off. I mean, I was almost right. Sort of. Okay, I’d give myself 50 points, and the other 50 points I’d give to Jane Thornley for stumping me (unfortunately for her, just like Whose Line Is It Anyway, the points don’t matter).
- The characters. There was not a single bad character in this story, each with their own unique voices and depth of character, right down to the dog, Mac, who almost seemed hellbent, in his own way, on solving his master’s murder. Jenna is a strong, independent lead who is extremely relatable. Oftentimes in the story, she was thinking what I was thinking. The whole cast has a way of growing on you, especially Aunt Clair. There’s much more to her character than meets the eye, and I loved the way her character unfolds throughout the book.
- The mystery was very well done. There were just enough clues and just enough red herrings (but not the annoying sort). Like I said, I’m pretty good at guessing, in general, but I only got partial credit for this one. Definitely did not predict the ending. I wasn’t thrilled with the motive, either, as it felt sort of weak, but people like that do exist, and I don’t have to like them, either. So it was believable, at least.
- Can we talk about that romance, though? This isn’t a romance book, not by any means, and Jenna isn’t looking for love. I mean, she’s successful in her career, has all the money she needs, isn’t looking to be the “perfect little wife.” She tried dating, found it wasn’t for her, and decided to focus on her career. But she falls into romance, sort of literally. I’m not saying it’s love (and neither is she), but there’s a definite attraction there. She’s built up this ideal of him in her head, and is not at all surprised to find that he doesn’t live up to the dream hunk she’s fantasized about, but that’s real life, isn’t it? There’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, I loved every minute of it.
- IT’S A TRILOGY. Sorry, but the crushing realization that I’d have to rejoin the real world and leave Marlytree Terrace came crashing down around me as I read the last page. But huzzah! All hope is not lost. It turns out that there will be two more books, and I, for one, cannot wait.
The Bad:
- There were a few things, when all was said and done, that had me shaking my head, trying to figure out why someone didn’t discover X, Y, Z sooner. There were definitely a few moments where it seemed like mere convenience that the police didn’t turn up certain things when they obviously should have. The biggest one it opens with is Uncle Dan’s murder (an autopsy should have raised suspicions about homicide versus accidental for a halfway decent coroner). There’s another big one toward the end that raised red flags and had me going, no way it wasn’t uncovered in the investigation. The lack of explanation in these instances annoyed the crap out of me, but weren’t so far out that they couldn’t be forgiven (and probably, they could have been explained in plausible manners; they just weren’t).
- There’s two other books and I don’t have them yet? I mean, this is seriously one-sided, but there’s not a whole lot I have to say that counts as a negative. Boo for not giving me more negatives? (Just out of spite, I’m taking back those 50 points from earlier for writing such a flawless book.)
Overall:
If, for some reason, you can only read ten books in 2018, I would recommend Downside Up be on the list. It’s a really quick, light read, fairly short, but lots of action and mystery packed into it. Once I started reading, I just couldn’t get enough, and I had to know who the murderer was and if my suspicions were true (they weren’t, so I guess I shouldn’t be rushing out to become a police officer, huh?). I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for the sequels.

Disappointing. The characters are likeable enough, an the story was promising, but the writing was a bit amateurish, and clunky, and seemed to be riddles with some of the strangely outdated ideas Americans still harbour regarding the social structure of the UK. But I gave up on at the appalling and crass passage “she’d had and been had by men.”. There are far more grown up ways do explain that a woman has been sexually active.

Could not put it down, it is outstanding

Jenna Elson has returned to London to help her Aunt Clair after the death of Uncle Dan, Clair's brother. The police have ruled it accidental, but Clair is convinced that Dan was murdered by one of their neighbors. Clair has been bound to a wheelchair since childhood and is also agoraphobic, so it's up to Jenna to investigate even if she thinks her aunt may be having fantasies.
Clair was always the impractical guardian, encouraging Jenna to escape to the rooftops and be Clair's eyes, reporting back on the world that Clair will never see. Now Jenna can use that ability to spy on the neighbors and try to find Dan's killer.
The neighbors are an eclectic group, worthy of participation in a Christie story. There's the odd painter of slasher nudes, the handsome and esteemed Shakespearean actor, the lonely old lady and her cats, and more. As Jenna eavesdrops and learns more, she becomes suspicious of the two young men her aunt has hired, one to tear up the garden and the other to instruct Clair on her technology skills. Then there are more murders though Jenna suffers a fall and a head injury which gives her partial amnesia.
I loved the idea of a person 'roofing' as Jenna calls it. London is a perfect city for this with it's rowhouses and chimney sentinels. Dickens certainly used this idea, and I've read numerous Regency and Victorian historicals where roofs were used for passages by cat burglars and spies. This is the first book set in modern times that I've read where someone takes advantage of the aerial roadways, and it fits in perfectly here. Jenna's backstory explains her fascination with going up and about.
No one is whom they seem in this thriller. I admit I figured out the killer pretty early though I was surprised at another little twist, but the characters are very interesting and different, fun to read about. I liked how Ms. Thornley portrays Jenna's viewpoint of them as she watches them from the roofs versus once she actually starts to interact with them. She finds she has misunderstood much of what she saw from a distance which only makes the mystery more puzzling and frustrating with her mind only remembering partial flashes of what happened.
I must give a special shout-out to Mac, Uncle Dan's dog. He is just adorable and has his own place in the cast of characters.
There are two more books planned in this series and I look forward to them both, wanting to read more of Jenna's marvelous eyeprints from the roofs of London.

*I received a free ARC of this book. The decision to review and my opinions are my own.*
Downside Up is a murder mystery / crime thriller, with the added dimension that the main character is a secret ‘roofing’ addict.
Jenna spends a large portion of the plot either climbing or hiding around her neighbours’ rooftops, in her own spin on the parkour trend, which gives us a standard mystery plot, but from a different point of view than usual, which I found an intriguing twist on the standard.
This book also fulfils my main pre-requisite for a mystery novel, which is not being able to guess whodunnit. I firmly believed the killer was a certain character throughout the story, and thought myself pretty damn clever for seeing past the author’s feints to work it out…so obvious! Only to find out that I had been thoroughly red-herringed during the final reveal. It’s very rare that happens these days as my instincts have been honed with practice, so it was a nice surprise to find that I can still be both hoodwinked and bamboozled.
I really enjoyed the characterisation here as well. It was nice to see an orphan adopted by family members who are neither perfect saints, nor evil villains, but flawed people doing their best with what they have. Aunt Clair in particular was a breath of fresh, if selfish and aggravating, air.
Downside Up is the first in a trilogy, so I am fascinated to see how Jenna’s character will develop now that this first, personal, mystery has been solved and her life course has been altered somewhat as a result. I’m especially interested to discover if and, if so, how her roofing addiction will fit into further plots, as it struck me as something of a situationally-dependent skill! I look forward to finding out in the next two installments…

Thank you Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the eARC.
Jenna has left Toronto for London to help her aunt Clair after the death of Uncle Dan, Clair's brother. Clair is certain Dan didn't die accidentally in a fall, but was murdered by one of the neighbors. She wants Jenna to be her eyes to find the truth.
Clair is wheelchair bound as well as agoraphobic and Jenna loves climbing the roofs, a practice she started as a child to mentally escape her unhappy childhood. Staying in touch by cellphone, Jenna describes the views from above as well as peeks into the neighbors' lives.
They soon realize Dan was murdered when more killings occur and Jenna is determined to bring the killer to justice. Unfortunately she is attacked on one of her surveillance trips and her memory is severely disabled. Will she be able to find the murderer? As she grows close to the actor she has a crush on as well as the neighbor she originally suspected of being Dan's killer and her memory returns slowly, she realizes the motive for the killings is money.
This book is so enjoyable; I loved the little dog, the mental views of rooftop London, the eclectic mix of eccentric characters and of course Jenna's solving of the mystery. Happily, 2 more books are to follow and I for one can't wait!

This was a very cool book and a very promising trilogy opening. Jenna's "roofing" travels - and travails - and her "be my eyes" game for her wheelchair-bound Aunt make for a unique spin on the regular-girl-solves-mysteries theme. It's a bit "Rear Window meets a cozy mystery", but with a grittier feel than either descriptor suggests on its own. The writing is very good and I was sucked into the story - and the family drama underpinning it - from the opening pages. The characters are a melange of personalities and quirks, and there are so many layers to everyone's motivation that even when I saw something coming, it was quickly followed by some new element that shifted the questions and suspense in a new direction. I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment!

I personally would never climb around on roofs as Jenna does. Murder solving required it in this case . She has come home to London after the death , ?murder of her uncle . Her Aunt Clair pushes her into such actions . Along the way and with a little help from a new friend , she begins to look at herself and why she uses such escapism. Manipulation of people can backfire as Clair learns.
I enjoy this author's writing and have read most of her books . Usually strong female protagonists.

This was a nice breath of fresh air! I highly enjoyed climbing over the rooftops and seeing the world under a new perspective. This book captivated me and every time I put it down I kept thinking about it until I inevitably went back to reading a few more pages. It's one of those books that keep you guessing until the very end. I'm normally really good at figuring out who the culprit is, but I have to say in this case I didn't. Even if I was pretty close.

This is the first book I read by Jane Thornley and loved it. Very suspenseful. Lots of twists and turns. A real page turner. Excellently written. I loved the character of Jenna. And a bonus character - Mac the dog. I am happy to put more books by Jane Thornley on my TBR list.
I received a free copy and voluntarily reviewed this book.

Happy ending in one of London’s neighborhoods.
Do you stay close to family or move to another country ? Are you growing up or hiding from your insecurities ? Throw in some nighttime roof climbing and a fantasy romance. Plus a good who-done-it.

Quirky but good!
Twists and turns make you doubt your own instincts, but the ending satisfies. Off to read the next book now!
