The Paris Apartment by Lucy FoleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Wow - this was quite a page-turning thriller! I finished the book in under 24 hours, which is quite an accomplishment for me. Of course the Michigan sub-zero temperatures this week certainly provided me with more reading time than usual!
The setting of the book is a posh Parisian apartment building. Each chapter it told from the point of view of a different resident. We see the same scene told from different perspectives, and not all of the residents can be counted on for reliable narration!
Jess quits her job in a British pub on the spur of the moment and goes to Paris, where her step-brother is living, hoping to stay a few days and get a fresh start. He's not there when she arrives, which is surprising since she just talked to him on the phone earlier that day. She starts asking his neighbors in the apartment building, but no one seems to know anything and there are a lot of suspicious characters. From there we are taken on a very bumpy ride while she uncovers what really happened to her step-brother and what is transpiring in the apartment building.
This is the first book that I've ready by Lucy Foley, but it definitely won't be the last! If you like Only Murders in the Building, you'll definitely enjoy this book. Just the thing for a cold winter's day and a hot cuppa tea!
