This was such a high tension pacy thriller. I loved every moment. Will definitely be recommending this to friends upon its release.

An amazing thriller, Foley did it again! As per her previous books, this story is full of very ambiguous characters, each one with a motive and very suspicious behaviors. Everyone is a suspect, but this time it's not clear what is the crime, and even if there is a crime at all... this all added to the reading experience, and I loved formulating theories fitting with each twist.

The setting is amazing and I loved the french idioms throughout, as it made the characters more authentic.

I was able to guess who was guilty, but it was mostly luck and it wasn't obvious at all, so it didn't ruin the suspense for me... and the ending, I was not able to predict THAT!

Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Thank you NetGallery and Harper Collins for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book and the Paris setting. The descriptions of the building, and all the hidden stairs and rooms were excellent, I could really picture it. The story was good, fast-moving, and with lots of secrets revealed, and many twists and turns. This book is different to Lucy Foley's previous work, it's good to see a completely fresh story, and lots of new ideas.

I really enjoyed Lucy Foleys first two books but this just didn’t grip me in the same way . The premise is Jess arrives in Paris to crash in her half brothers apartment for a month or two. When she arrives her brother Ben is missing and the neighbours in the apartment block are acting shifty. I was super intrigued at the beginning of this book but then the pacing went off and I really had to push myself through it. It was fine but nothing made me go ‘omg ‘ ! I gave it 2.5 stars

Lucy Foley does it again…a thriller that gets its hold on you and draws you in. Featuring a cast of characters that you can’t help but hate/love, The Paris Apartment is a story that I’m sure lots will be talking about upon its release.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me the chance to read this in advance of publication.
Our story focuses on a mysterious apartment block in Paris and a family with plenty to hide. Sometimes secrets can be kept for years, but just one thread unravelling can pull it all apart. While the secrets are not anything out of the ordinary, the way they have tangled over the years and the resulting problems make for a most intriguing read.
When Jess needs to escape her life in London after a run-in with her pervert boss, she flees to her brother, Ben, who has found himself an apartment in Paris. She gets more than she imagined, as we already know that something has happened to Ben. Watching Jess blunder into this macabre building - with deliciously creepy characters and a wonderfully oppressive atmosphere full of shadows that could just be hiding something threatening - felt uncomfortable at times. We sensed she was getting into something potentially dangerous, but her determination to leave no stone unturned and to help those in need meant you couldn’t help but wish her success in her endeavours.
Knowing no more than is revealed to us in the blurb is important for this read. We know something is not right, but the way these little details are revealed is done well. Perhaps a little more background information about some of the characters would have been welcome but there was plenty to be getting on with.

Being a huge fan of Lucy Foley’s prior books, I was very much looking forward to getting stuck into the ARC of The Paris Apartment that publisher Harper Collins kindly let me read on NetGalley. Unfortunately I was unable to get interested in either the characters or the plot and after forcing myself to trudge through 80% of this book, I gave up - totally untypically for me without even bothering to read the (probable) dénouement!

Not sure where to start reviewing this novel. This was an unusual plot and from page one I wondered what was going on. I was intrigued by the author, Lucy Foley's description of the apartment and in my head I was there.
The characters I disliked. The writing was creepy and snappy with lots of red herrings. I had no idea where this story was going to take me. An enjoyable read.

I give a 3 star rating.

I WANT TO THANK NETGALLEY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF READING AN ADVANCED COPY OF THIS BOOK IN RETURN FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.

Mixed feelings on this one. I have previously enjoyed other books by this author but I felt this lacked pace. The beginning was intriguing and the end was good but I felt it didn’t really go anywhere in the middle and I did lose interest. A shame as this had potential.

Thanks to NetGalley for my review copy.

Loved the Parisian setting – it was such a wild ride of a book! Great characters and tension was high throughout.

The Paris Apartment is yet again a winner from Lucy Foley. Jess is in search of her brother who rents an upmarket apartment in Paris but has gone missing. In search of clues she meets a suspicious, creepy cast of characters, anyone of whom could be guilty. Can she find out who and what happened to Ben?

Ben Daniels is a journalist who is invited to stay in an apartment within Nick’s family home. This home an old large hotel in Paris,now owned by Nick’s family who all live in separate apartments along with the elderly concierge who has her own separate accommodation within the grounds.
Ben’s sister Jess contacts him and asked to stay with him ,so making arrangement arrives in Paris ,only to discover that Ben is now missing. A search by Jess leaves her feeling frightened for his safety and feels that there is more to the house and those living in it than meets the eye. Secrets begin to emerge as Jess delves more deeply into the history of the family and their relationships. Perhaps that is what Ben has discovered?
The book moves quickly and parts are told by the different individuals as the story unfolds . Not until the end do we have a glimpse of the secrets they all share.
Really enjoyed the book ,certainly has a different and distinctive style.

Having read Lucy Foley's other two books and devoured them, I was thrilled to get my hands on her third!!
This novel is very different in style to her other two and I really struggled to get in to it initially but once I did..wow!!...,I couldn't put it down. Brilliant characters, interesting plot that keeps you turning the pages and guessing right until the end. All set in a mysterious apartment block with equally strange and mysterious occupants who all have their own secrets. Jess' journey to unearth the whereabouts of her brother Ben is a tale not to be missed

Another great book by Lucy Foley a real mysterious & twisted thriller. The story follows the events of what happened in a apartment in No.12 Rue des Amants. Full of twists keeps you wanting to get to the end to find out the truth.

The book starts off slow but picks up pace midway, you can’t put it down after that A classic whodunnit with fleshed our characters and a sinister plot. And, of course, like her other works, you can’t guess till the end who has committed the crime. A good read for a long winter day, do pick it up.

lucy foley’s other books ‘the guest list’ and ‘the hunting party’ are two of my favourite mystery thriller books, and this one did not disappoint.

although i found the setting to be rather cringey and did not understand this cast of characters as much as those in her other books, the twists were still great, and this is definitely worth a read.

Foley has again written a terrific novel that is full of brilliant characters who all are a part of the excellent plot. I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for her next

Another exciting thriller from Lucy! She writes really well! Loved her other books and this one is definitely one to add to the collection. Love it’s set in Paris and the when Jess arrives things are not want they seem. You will enjoy the journey the narrative takes.

The plot centers around the exotic setting of a Parisian apartment block with a courtyard. The suspense slowly builds as Jess goes there to visit her brother Ben, a journalist, only to discover that he has disappeared. There are excellent descriptive scenes which evoke an impending sense of drama and doom. Something very mysterious is going on. The creepy occupants of the building all have their secrets, as does the sinister concierge who silently watches what's going on.
A very enjoyable and imaginative read, which I read in a couple of sittings.

Jess is broke & having left her job decides to travel to Paris to stay with her half brother Bento start a new life.
When she arrives Ben is missing & the other residents in the rather exclusive apartment block, are less than friendly & not keen to help. They all have secrets of their own including the apartment’s concierge.
Jess does some investigative work of her own to try to find what has happened to Ben & unearths some secrets along the way.

I have to admit thrillers are not usually top of my reading list, I find them contrived & predictable. However, I really enjoyed this book. I was looking for a page-turning easy read & found it. The characters are a little one-dimensional & the plot, at times, a little convenient (I mean who hacks a computer’s password on the second attempt?) but there are plenty of twists that I didn’t see coming!

This was a gripping read. I found it took a little time to get going and to become familiar with who's who, but once you get used to the cast of characters, it was hard to put down. It was so interesting to read about another side to Paris as a city and the house itself was like another character. Jess is very well drawn and I think she carries the story well. The other characters are all quirky and interesting in their own way and just when you think you have someone or something figured out, it turns out you're wrong! The story had many layers and a good twist. It kept me up far too late because I had to see what happens! I was delighted to get a chance to read it early and will definitely recommend it.
