The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley (HarperCollins UK)

Jess is really excited to visit her half brother Ben in a beautiful old apartment block in Paris. But he has gone missing and there are blood stains in Ben's apartment. Jess starts to investigate, yet inhabitants remain quiet; obviously all keep secrets, even though nothing goes unseen in this house. Is Jess as unwanted guest in danger too?

A mystery lies behind the door of apartment three.

The story is compelling and told from multiple perspectives, however a bit confusing, messy and slow. Also, from my point of view, too predictable. The characters are pretty dark and not very likeable. So much is going on but descriptions are shallow and two-dimensional.

3,5/5
