The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley

dark mysterious tense

4.5

Lucy Foley has absolutely nailed the setup of a dark, suspense driven whodunnit it mystery... I felt like I was unravelling a perfectly curated game of Cludo, which is by far my fav board game ever. 🕵️

📖 Jess needs to quickly escape from her life in London and heads to Paris to crash with her journalist brother, Ben. While on her way to Paris, Ben leaves her a voice note to say he will be awake and waiting to let her into the building when she arrives. Only when she does, Ben isn't there...

When the neighbours start acting suspiciously and Jess's concerns for her brother's whereabouts are ignored, she starts digging into Ben's life. She soon comes to realise that there is so much about her brother that she didn't know, and that nothing and none in the apartment building is as it seems. 
 
What are they hiding? 
Who can she trust?
Where is Ben? 

💭Thoughts:
The Paris Apartment is told from the multiple POV's of Jess and some of the key residents of the apartment building, providing us with glimpses into their lives and the secrets they are hiding. 

One of my favourite aspects of this book is the way the Apartment building became a character in and of itself. As Jess explores the hidden corners of the building, a lurking sense of intrigue remained throughout the story. Someone is always watching...

The midway reveal had me absolutely stunned, I had not been expecting that at all 👏. The suspense and tension continued to boil as Jess uncovers more of the apartment's kept secrets, making for a page-turning conclusion. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for this e-ARC copy of the Paris Apartment
