Jess needs a fresh start. She\u2019s broke and alone, and she\u2019s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn\u2019t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn\u2019t say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up \u2013 to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? \u2013 he\u2019s not there.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother\u2019s situation, and the more questions she has. Ben\u2019s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it\u2019s starting to look like it\u2019s Ben\u2019s future that\u2019s in question.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The socialite \u2013 The nice guy \u2013 The alcoholic \u2013 The girl on the verge \u2013 The concierge<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone\u2019s a neighbor. Everyone\u2019s a suspect. And everyone knows something they\u2019re not telling.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This review isn’t going to be the most in-depth, informative, or entertaining review I’ve ever posted, purely because I don’t have a lot to say about this The Paris Apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Paris Apartment was sooo boring, oh my god. I have loved previous books by Lucy Foley – The Hunting Party and The Guest List are excellent – but I was bored to tears by this one. I couldn’t tell you anything about any of the characters or the plot because by 50 pages in I had already stopped caring. I have no idea what the mystery was supposed to be, who I was supposed to be cheering for, and who I could have suspected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am SAD because I wanted to love this one (it was one of my most anticipated books of the year) but I feel so let down. Nothing about it was compelling. I’m hoping this was just a blip from the author because I want to read and love her future books. Her thriller settings are normally incredible, so I’m hoping this was just a one-off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
