    • The apartment building, the different characters, the secrets, Paris in the background...
Format: Paperback
Review Image by Lindsay S.
4.5 stars for The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley This was my first Lucy Foley book, and I can already say it won't be my last. The POV changes a lot at first, which took me a minute to get used to, but once I knew all the characters, it became really easy to follow-and I loved how distinct each person felt. You're getting the same mystery through completely different eyes, and I thought their individual perspectives were written so well. And the Paris setting? Loved. I especially liked that French words and phrases are sprinkled throughout the story (with translations!), because it made the setting feel even more immersive. The twists didn't all wait until the last few chapters either. Little reveals and clues were scattered throughout, keeping me guessing, and then there was one BIG twist toward the end that I did not see coming. I kept thinking while reading this: this would make SUCH a good movie. The apartment building, the different characters, the secrets, Paris in the background... I can already picture it. Definitely adding more Lucy Foley to my TBR. ... show more

    • I liked the multiple surprises at the end
Jess Hadley goes to Paris to stay for a while with her half-brother Ben, only to find he’s disappeared. So she stays in his posh apartment to try and figure out what’s become of him. The tenants are peculiar. There’s something faintly sinister about the elegant old building. And the aged concierge watches every coming and going with creepy intensity. Jess is no angel. She picks locks and is not above a casual theft, but she has a good heart. And she’s determined to find out what happened to her only living relative, no matter what it takes. It takes a lot. The plot encompasses murder, blackmail, illicit love, betrayal, prostitution — and a marvelously dysfunctional family. Much of the drama revolves around Ben, a self-centered, manipulative charmer. He wants to write that big sensational story that will make his name as a hot investigative journalist. Will the story will ever be told? Will Ben ever be found, dead or alive? There’s plenty of action in The Paris Apartment. The author’s assumption that we know not a word of French (and need a lesson) can be irritating. But otherwise, I found this novel pretty entertaining, though perhaps a bit sophomoric. ... show more

Review Image by Camila Russell
Told in short chapters through multiple POVs, in the latest Lucy Foley’s thriller we follow Jess Hadley, a bartender at the Copacabana bar in Brighton, England, who finds herself in a difficult situation in which she needs to leave everything behind. So she decides to go to Paris to visit her half-brother Ben. While Jess is on her way, her brother leaves her a message giving her instructions on how to proceed when she gets into the building. But when Jess finally arrives, Ben is nowhere to be found. His apartment is much more she could have imagined. How Ben could afford such a fancy apartment being a freelance journalist? He also left his wallet behind and Jess decides to ask around his whereabouts. The reader is left in the dark for most of the story. It is impossible not to be reminded of the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building, without the podcast element, while reading this novel. Just like in the series, everyone living in this building becomes a suspect. The building holds a lot of secrets, and secret passages, and the protagonist soon realizes that things are not what they seem. The characters are well developed. Foley gives us a background story of Jess and Ben, and their different upbringing. After their mother died, the siblings were split up. Ben was adopted by a wealthy couple and had a comfortable life while Jess lived from one foster home to another. There are some unexpected twists and her writing flows. I like the author’s ability to create a creepy atmosphere. It was my first Lucy Foley and I enjoyed reading this one. I also liked how the tension was built slowly but there was nothing in this novel that really wowed me. I believe The Paris Apartment would be an enjoyable read for fans of mystery/thriller in general. It is an ok book, one that will entertain the reader without being extraordinary. Now I am curious to read more from this author. ... show more

    • Don't Wait Any Longer To Meet The Residents Of This Apartment Building!
Format: Kindle
Jess's last voicemail from her brother Ben provided the address of his apartment: number 12, Rue des Amants, 3rd floor. He mentioned he would wait up for her; all she had to do was ring the buzzer. However, nothing is as it seems. The neighborhood is different, the apartment feels strange, and it's empty except for a cat. Where is Ben? Jess has no real reason to return to London. The story unfolds through the perspectives of several residents, although not all of them are featured. As Jess interacts with these residents about Ben, their indifference toward his absence is unsettling. It's not merely what they say, but what they don't say that feels ominously secretive. The residents include: - The concierge, who lives in a small cabin in the courtyard. - Antoine and his wife, Dominique, who reside on the first floor. - Nick, a friend of Ben's from university, is on the second floor. - Mimi, who lives on the fourth floor with her roommate, Camille. - Sophie, who is married to Jacques, lives in the penthouse. A gripping thriller, building the intensity of suspense throughout the short chapters until the very end! The author excels at creating a rapid-fire pace that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Each chapter unfolds like a mini cliffhanger, raising the stakes with every page turn and leaving you wanting more. The brevity of the chapters contributes to a sense of urgency, while the plot twists and turns with relentless momentum. The characters are developed quickly yet effectively, allowing readers to form a connection despite the fast pacing. As the tension escalates, the stakes feel even higher, making for an exhilarating reading experience where every moment counts and surprises lurk around every corner. This was my first encounter with the author's writing, and I look forward to exploring their other books. ... show more

So this book was entertaining. It kept me flipping the pages to find out what the heck was going on. Is it the most elegant prose? No. Do you get confused which character is talking bc they all have the same mannerisms, speech and vocabulary? Yes. But when your brain needs a nice rest and distraction form everyday life this is a great book. Easy to read and a fast read. ... show more

    • In the end it was just too graphic for me
Format: Kindle
I listened to half of this on Audible, read some of it but skipped a quarter of it when there was too much discussion of Parisian sex shops. There’s a lot of sex in the book; eventually I decided I’d skip to the last few chapters, find out what happened to the mysterious Ben Daniels whose half sister, Jess, had arrived at his “Paris apartment” to find him gone, with the other occupants of the apartment building mysteriously, malevolently, unwilling to tell her anything about how much he had interacted with him and where he might have gone to. Because the novel is written in multiple voices—Jess, Nick who is Ben’s friend, Mimi who is a troubled young woman who lives in an apartment across the courtyard from Ben, Sylvie Meunier who is a soignee Parisienne living in the penthouse of the apartment and the Concierge who is an old woman living in a cabin in the garden of the apartment complex—we learn that each had their own dealings with Ben, their own secrets with him. Things unfold, secrets are laid open, it is a good thriller except for all of the sex (personal opinion.) I didn’t really warm to Jess until the end; she seemed, actually like all of the characters in the book, a bit amoral and aimless to me. Guess it’s a generation gap :) As to the Audible narration: I did find the narrator who played Mimi was very difficult to understand; she used a heavy French accent. I speak French but it was her English I didn’t understand. The rest of the narrators were good. ... show more
