When Jess’ half-brother disappears from his apartment the same evening she arrives on his doorstep, she immediately knows something is wrong. As Jess starts poking around his very posh apartment, things don’t necessarily add up. And his neighbors definitely don’t appreciate her meddling. Can she figure out what the hell happened to Ben before it’s too late?

Set in Paris (no way), Foley gives us a psychological thriller with a modern whodunnit flare. With multiple POVs, short chapters, and a slow burn, The Paris Apartment had me guessing, and guessing again, until the end.
