The Paris Apartment

Oh am in awe of the plot of characters of the reader, that bulding though seems like a very very old and gross amidst posh style beauty, book is one of them, major reveal and major reveal and so on and on as you advance towards the end, handsomely written and beautifully crafted drama, drama, drama and more drama!! Careful fellow readers, double check the time you start reading this one, for you would not be able to put it down easily an may end up spendin g the whole night and next morning with eyes weary yet fully awake in anticipation of much promised and there we go- drama, drama, and more drama!! Happy reading, folks!!

The Paris Apartment is a satisfying suspense thriller but rather slow, descriptive and tended to drag on. With a little editing it could have been more fast paced. The ending was good so it's ideal for a long journey. An easy read. Three stars for me.

Okay I feel like I got a different copy from the rest of #bookstagram cause every one else seemed to love this!! This is one of those stories that seems SO good and you can’t get enough of while reading, but later, in hindsight it falls flat! 🥲 I felt like I had the same experience with #theguestlist as well and may be I should stop falling for this scam lol 🥹 The story begins with our MC going to visit her brother in Paris but he seems to be not reachable at all! Now its up to Jess to fond out what happened to her brother 🙌 2.5⭐️ Its got a very strong plot, but sadly it got too long and very predictable towards the end! I didn’t hate the book, I just lost my patience with this! 👍: - An eerie setting that instantly set the mood for a dark story -a new plot twist every 60 page mark or so (which is also something i didn’t like actually) -a quick page turner 👎: -a new plot twist made me lose track of the main storyline -i got so impatient to get to the end -super predictable 😿

It is bit long, felt like taking the readers into the story took long but it was very thrilling, especially the ending was narrated really awesome.

The book is about the mystery of the disappearance of the character Ben. The book also involves the mystery of an old apartment building in Paris inhabited by residents Nick, Mimi, Sophie, Antoine and the Concierge. All of the characters are mysterious and all of them has something to hide and everyone of them is involved with Ben in one way or the other whether it’s the good guy Nick, or the weird little Mimi or the one with the silk shirt, exquisitely-cut dark skin trousers and a scarf brightly patterned Hermes silk around her neck who lives in the Penthouse of the building “Sophie”, or the old Concierge woman or the alcoholic Antoine, each of them has something to hide. They’re all neighbours (well you think they are until you find out that there’s a mystery to that as well). Jess (Ben’s half sister) suspects each and everyone of them and tries her best to find out about the hidden truth. I was hooked from the first few paragraphs of the book but then it was somewhat slow paced in the middle like I really wanted to rush towards the ending of the book to find out what happened. Other than that this book was a perfect read and I highly recommend it. This is the first book of Lucy Foley I have read and I would definitely want to read more of her books. The chapters are short though but I enjoyed reading it. Highlights: The French language and the description of the city of lights throughout the book 🌸 My rating: 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jess gets in touch with her journalist half brother Ben Daniels in Paris, in order to flee England due to her uncomfortable job situation. She is broke and has no one else to fall back on. As soon as she arrives, she is served with a platter of a missing brother and a suspicious apartment filled with unsavoury occupants. This is my second book of the author, first being The Guest List, which was a notch higher. Ms.Foley had me hooked on to the story from the very first page. There is something about the way she drives the story through each character that the flow is incredible. The suspense gets as intense as it gets messy. I love that mess simply 'cause it makes the characters so real, that I could easily connect with them. I simply couldn't wait to find out what she was about unravel to me next. Super fast paced, compelled me to keep turning pages. There were some fabulous lines and the ending was spiffing. So much to learn from this supremely talented author. If you enjoy crime thrillers, I would surely recommend this beauty.

I finished it in two days and was up all night. Amazing book—go for it. I hadn’t read any book in two years, and as soon as I started this one, it was a rollercoaster of emotions. Loved it.

So so so so good!!!

The characters are quite interesting. Lots of mystery in what I imagine is a beautiful old building filled with secrets.

good

But as you can see the book came with the indents and lines, ugh, so frustrating. I prefer my books to arrive in pristine condition.

This is a good pacy read, I did at times find it a little bit confusing and found myself having to backtrack to get clarity, but in spite of that it is still worth reading.
