Ligia asked this question about The Family Upstairs (The Family Upstairs, #1):
Anyone else puzzled by this blurb up top?: Gifted musician Clemency Thompson is playing for tourists on the streets of southern France when she receives an urgent text message. Her childhood friend, Lucy, is demanding her immediate return to London. It’s happening, says the message. The baby is back.
Kelli Definitely! I feel like Clemency is barely featured in the book at all. The blurb at the top leads you to believe she's a main character.…moreDefinitely! I feel like Clemency is barely featured in the book at all. The blurb at the top leads you to believe she's a main character.(less)

Jill I feel like the author might have originally named Lucy’s character Clemency, but before final draft decided to swap the names.
