The Wife Upstairs is a passable retelling of Jane Eyre. I'd like to note that, apart from the names of the main characters and the "wife in the attic" plot point, there's virtually nothing Hawkins includes from the original text.

Overall, this book was okay. I was mostly interested in how the author intended to turn Jane Eyre into a modern thriller. I wasn't surprised to feel dissatisfied after closing the book and returning it to the shelf, longing to reread the classic novel it borrowed from.
