ABOUT
Jess needs a fresh start. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn’t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn’t say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up – to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? – he’s not there.
The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has. Ben’s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it’s starting to look like it’s Ben’s future that’s in question.
The socialite – The nice guy – The alcoholic – The girl on the verge – The concierge
Everyone’s a neighbor. Everyone’s a suspect. And everyone knows something they’re not telling.
My Thoughts
This book has renewed my love for mystery novels. What a great book club pick this month. After reading "The Guest List" earlier this year and really enjoying it I was really excited for "The Paris Apartment. Talk about mysterious.
Jess, looking to escape her life, in London, makes contact with her brother Ben, who reluctantly offers her a place to stay in his apartment in Paris. Upon arrival to the apartment Ben has disappeared. in her quest to find her brother, Jess seeks answers from the neighbours in this swanky apartment complex, where she wonders if Ben could even afford.
The cast of characters Sophie, The concierge, Mimi, Jacques, Nick and Antoine were amazing to read about and uncover.
I love books with short chapters and this book was perfect for that because it kept me interested and wanting to read on to the end quickly. Lucy Foley has my attention so far. I hope to read "The Hunting Party" next because I really like this style of writing mystery novels.
This is a really good book.
