In The Paris Apartment, we see some of those trademark elements. But not me! I love to read about flawed and even evil characters, and the different POV chapters add a certain dimension that totally works for me. Lucy Foley has gained a bit of a reputation among thriller readers, and her last two books have been divisive: Some people don’t like her multiple-POV format, and even more are turned off by how unlikeable her characters tend to be. Jess loves her brother and will stop at nothing to find him, even if no one – not even the police – are any help… and even if she’s putting herself in danger. They clearly don’t want Jess there, and they’re not being helpful in her search for Ben. The other tenants in his building are all acting rather suspicious and hostile. But when Jess arrives that night, Ben is nowhere to be found, and he’s not answering his phone. It’s not great timing, but he’ll welcome her into his Parisian home. She calls up her half-brother, Ben, looking to crash with him for a little while. Jess has led a tough life so far, and after some dodgy events back home in England, she needs an escape. Even better that it’s set in such a beautiful city! My personal April reading challenge has been to read books set in Paris, so Lucy Foley’s latest publication was the perfect inclusion. After reading those, I couldn’t wait for her next release: The Paris Apartment. I’ve become a fan of Lucy Foley in the last couple of years I loved her thrillers The Hunting Party and The Guest List.
