The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley

 

The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley - 360 pages

Jess needs a fresh start. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn’t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn’t say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up – to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? – he’s not there.

The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has. Ben’s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it’s starting to look like it’s Ben’s future that’s in question.

The socialite – The nice guy – The alcoholic – The girl on the verge – The concierge

Everyone’s a neighbor. Everyone’s a suspect. And everyone knows something they’re not telling.

The book starts by introducing you to all of the characters, and the book continues with each chapter from different character's perspective.  I personally like this type of narrative; if it's not your preference I would still recommend you give this a try, you will not be disappointed.  This book has several twists and turns that keep you intrigued and drives you to keep reading because you just have to find out what the deal is with this apartment.  Just when you think you have it figured out you find out you do not!
