The Paris Apartment was a whirlwind. This story had some interesting twists and turns that surprised me and led to a fairly satisfying ending. One could say the flaws of the main character were a primary focus... Jess's inability to investigate Ben's disappearance discreetly annoyed me to no end. The book's writing style was quite superficial, making it easy to read quickly but not very rich or satisfying.

A friend told me that Lucy Foley's novels are "like candy," and I can't disagree - you just want to keep reading and keep reading to see what happens! But, this novel was quite dark and tense, without much redemption in the story. Combined with the source of the mystery revealed, this was a heavy read. Consider the content warnings.

Great book if you're in the mood for a mystery- with a twist I didn't see coming right at the end.

This book was surprisingly good. My jaw even dropped during a major plot twist. Once you understand the characters’ dynamics, you can’t put the book down! Switching narratives helps keep the plot moving in a way that’s fun and not mentally draining.

Another quite well done thriller from Lucy Foley that I couldn’t put down once it got going. This one does start off a bit slow but once the intrigues and reveals start showing themselves it’s off to the races

I enjoyed this audiobook! The different narrators make the story come to life. The beginning is slow, but the atmospheric writing style makes up for it. Foley's writing makes you feel like you're living in the apartment with the characters. There are several twists and turns; I would say they aren't too predictable. But take that with a grain of salt because I don't read a lot of thrillers. My only fault with this book is Jess' poor decision-making. Jess is presented as a street-smart, no-nonsense woman, but some of her choices throughout the book left me cringing. It seemed like a cheap way to move the plot along.
