And this is exactly what “The Paris Apartment” does. I do wonder if this technique can become a little formulaic but then I read a review which said fans of Lucy Foley like this – they know what to expect when picking up her books – short chapters, and lots of character storylines which come together into a satisfying end with a few surprises thrown in. It is a technique which she used in “The Hunting Party”, which I also enjoyed, as well as “The Guest List”, which I am yet to read. Lucy Foley’s skill of jumping between the characters, swings the reader through the story. This book is an easy read with its short chapters and page turning narrative. Slowly, the mystery unravels as, chapter by chapter, we fall into the different characters’ POVs - setting up a very twisty thriller which kept me guessing to the end and with some surprising plots turns. Over the next few days, Jess meets the other eclectic apartment residents of the luxurious block, as she goes looking for Ben. Just an empty apartment with only his cat in residence, who disturbingly has blood smeared on its fur. ![]() Jess turns up at the Parisian apartment where her half-brother Ben is staying, but he’s not there. ![]()
