Thank you Netgalley, Harper Collins Canada and Lucy Foley.
This was an enjoyable mystery, quick read.
Surprising ending. This was my first Lucy Foley read and I enjoyed.
Recommend for mystery fans

The mystery within this book kept me on my toes, and I never quite figured it out until all was revealed. I had a hard time putting it down and couldn't wait to finish and to learn all of the secrets within!

Fast paced. Gritty and raw and the perfect amount of thrilling to keep you going. I had an incredible time trying to solve the mystery Lucy foley put together here. I enjoyed truly, every aspect of this book and can’t give it anything but 5 out of 5 stars. I was on edge the entire time and cannot wait to see more from Lucy foley!

THE PARIS APARTMENT by Lucy Foley (The Guest List) is definitely suspenseful and has a sinister atmosphere. The story begins with Jess contacting her brother, Ben, and his promise to let her in his Paris apartment. She arrives on a night train from London, but he is nowhere to be found. As the story progresses, it looks like Jess may herself be in serious trouble for the residents in the complex are not what they seem. Foley evoked emotion – I was scared for Jess, but I was also a bit frustrated. It felt like she should have left or been more forceful; but how could she know whom to trust? The Guest List seemed to have a similar arc to the story line – great atmosphere at the beginning and then a lull in the action to be followed be a relatively quick resolution. Enjoy THE PARIS APARTMENT, especially if you are looking for an "escape" to Europe over Spring Break!

I'm a huge Lucy Foley fan and loved The Hunting Party and especially The Guest List. The Paris apartment was such a disappointment that I didn't even finish it. Too many completely unlikeable characters, protagonist who makes dumb decisions or takes no action at all. Thriller tropes galore. This book feels rushed like the publisher wanted it out too quickly. Lucy hasn't lost me but this one was a real letdown.

I am a big fan of Foley's since recently flying through The Guest List and The Hunting Party and this one definitely had a different but welcomed feel. It felt like Foley's writing but the mystery structure was more like that of The Maidens or Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. As both the previous books I read had a very similar unfolding structure I was happy for the change. I really enjoy the multiple perspectives that she do a and how I'm never dreading a certain character but it really flows great. I definitely recommend this one! Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

There was a LOT going on in this book. Like a LOT going on. I had a pretty difficult time following it at the beginning, but I was able to follow it. The location was absolutely great, and I wish we had gotten to work more with the strangeness of the building. The atmosphere was well-done and unsettling. However, some devices weren't hashed out enough, and there were things that I wanted to know more about that were never explained. Overall, it was okay. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Jess goes to Paris to escape her problems at home, in hope of the comforting presence of her half brother, Ben. When she arrives at the luxurious apartment building he has been living in, he is nowhere to be found. Feeling uneasy and uncomfortable around the other occupants of the building, Jess takes it upon herself to search for Ben. Her questioning leads to sinister answers and the mystery continues to grow as she learns more about the inhabitants of the complex.

Foley is a master of twists and turns; she does not disappoint here yet again. She is also great at making the primary characters not exactly likable - again, she has done well in The Paris Apartment. Another great thriller from Foley, if a little predictable.

Thank you again to NetGalley for another amazing ARC

I truly enjoyed reading this novel - enough suspense and mystery to keep me going. Ms. Foley's writing reminds me of Ruth Ware and I must say that's just the genre I crave reading.

Two siblings, one a mess and the other "near-perfect". But when one goes missing the other has to get their act together.

This book started strong with kind of a creepy/spooky feel and a mystery right off the bat. But then the middle of the book kind of dragged with not much really happening. Then the last bit picked up again. There were some nice little twists that kept the storyline interesting. I also enjoyed the multiple POV.

I love a dark and twisty thriller that doesn't make me roll my eyes too much! Usually I can't stand unlikeable characters, but finally this was the opposite - and the unlikeable, terrible characters worked. They were all just awful. I didn't see any of the twists coming, maybe I'm naive, but it was a pleasant surprise to keep being shocked with each chapter. I really enjoyed the short, quick chapters, which made it easier to get through this one quickly, even though it's more of a slow burn.

This book by Lucy Foley was a disappointment. Her other novels were filled with suspense and I could not put them down. The story dragged on and I never felt as if I connected with any of the characters. Additionally, character development was superficial. Along the way, another character would pop up, there were way to many to become invested in one in particular. The element of surprise surfaced here and there with morsels of information about the characters and their background, but by the end, nothing surprised me, even that Ben was alive. Really? A disappointing read, but I like the author so I’ll wait for another book from her.

Desperate and penniless, Jess travels to Paris to crash at her half brother’s apartment. But Ben is missing and his apartment resembles a crime scene. Jess doesn’t know French, distrusts the police, and knows very little about Ben’s life. But she is determined to investigate.. Is Ben missing or dead, a victim or a perpetrator? An oddball group of residents are likely suspects. Gripping and fast paced thriller.

I’m not usually one who loves thrillers but this one worked for me! It had the perfect amount of suspense and intrigue and despite a lot of POVs I found that each character had a distinct voice. That alone made it easy to keep things straight!

This was my first Lucy Foley but it certainly won’t be my last!

Thank you to HarperCollins for a copy in exchange of an honest review!

I enjoyed The Paris Apartment as much as, if not more than, The Guest List. The voices of the switching narrators were compelling, and I was instantly caught up in Jess's story. Her love and concern for her brother, in spite of their unstable upbringing, shines through, giving motivation to her actions throughout the novel. The ideas of family and loyalty weave in and out of the narrative, giving a thought-provoking base to a whodunit. A thoroughly enjoyable read with a strong voice and tight plotting.

Another great book by Lucy Foley - I make sure to read anything that she writes. She has an easy style of writing but keeps you drawn in from start to finish. Highly recommend

I enjoyed this one! The distinctly different sounds to the voices of the
various narrators made this one an easy audio book to follow. It was nice
to get to "travel" to Paris, especially after 2 years of COVID lockdowns in
Europe. This one surprised me with Ben's fate--I did not expect that twist
and I enjoyed it. A little long through the middle, stick with it because
this one is worth it. A solid 4 stars.

A quick, read that is mostly very implausible, but entertaining. The mystery is told through several points of view - the main character is Jess. Jess is a product of the foster care system, has made several bad choices, and is on the run after leaving her bartending job in a questionable manner. Jess's half brother is Ben - who despite their shared trauma in early childhood, was adopted and raised by a posh English family and given a much different upbringing than Jess. When Jess needs a place to crash, she reaches out to Ben who is attempting to be a journalist in Paris, and plans to meet him and stay at his apartment. However, when she arrives in Paris, his apartment is empty, he is not answering his phone, and his last message appears to have been cut off - in a sinister way. When Jess starts investigating the people that live in Ben's wealthy, but creepy Paris apartment building, she starts uncovering secrets that could put her in jeopardy. Ending is quite over the top, but hey, if you have read Lucy Foley, you know to expect some murder, some affairs, and some plot twists and turns. Thank you to Netgalley for an advance reader copy.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing a review copy. This review will also be posted on my Goodreads page. I am a fan of Lucy Foley. While I don't think this was her best, I did enjoy it.

Jess arrives in Paris to visit her brother Ben. When Jess arrives, Ben is nowhere to be found. A few macabre clues lead her to think something bad has happened. Ben's apartment building is mysterious the say the least. The residents are an odd bunch and all seem like they have something to hide. Jess becomes involved and falls deeper down the rabbit hole to try to figure out what happened to Ben.

This novel was interesting. I did feel like It was gearing up for a reveal that would make my jaw drop, but while it didn't, I wouldn't say I didn't like the novel. It has an interesting mystery and keeps you guessing, but I would have liked a little something more. I feel like "mysterious apartment buildings" is becoming a trope in thrillers and to stand out you have to have that wow factor.

Jess arrives in Paris to stay with her brother Ben except he isn't there when she arrives. As she tries to find out what is going on and where he might has disappeared to she deals with the other tenants in the building; all of whom come under suspicion. A fast read with troubled characters, I really enjoyed it.
