Review: The Paris Apartment

The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jess, in desperate need of a fresh start, finds herself broke and alone after leaving her job in unfavorable circumstances. Seeking refuge with her half-brother Ben in Paris, she discovers a surprisingly upscale apartment, leading her to question how Ben could afford such a place. However, Ben is nowhere to be found.

As time passes with no sign of Ben, Jess becomes increasingly curious about her brother's situation. The eccentric and unfriendly neighbors raise more questions than answers. While Jess had hoped to escape her own past, it becomes apparent that it is Ben's future that is now in jeopardy.

Amidst the cast of characters including a socialite, a kind-hearted individual, an alcoholic, a troubled girl, and the enigmatic concierge, everyone becomes a potential suspect and neighbor. Secrets and withheld information lurk behind closed doors, and Jess realizes that each person holds a piece of the puzzle.

In this gripping tale, suspicions mount, and the search for Ben intensifies. As everyone harbors their own hidden agenda, Jess must navigate the intricate web of deception to uncover the truth.

Jess truly shines as a dynamic character whose resilience captivates readers. Despite encountering numerous obstacles, she demonstrates remarkable strength and determination that leaves a lasting impression. Jess's ability to overcome challenges and adapt to unexpected situations adds depth to her character and makes her journey all the more compelling. I was engrossed in unraveling the mystery alongside Jess. The twists and turns bring an element of surprise and intrigue, keeping readers engaged and eager to discover what lies ahead. The unexpected plot twists keep readers on their toes, constantly challenging their assumptions and providing a sense of satisfaction when revelations come to light.
