The Paris Apartment: A Novel
THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
"Told in rotating points of view, this Tilt-A-Whirl of a novel brims with jangly tension – an undeniably engrossing guessing game." - Vogue
"[A] clever, cliff-hanger-filled thriller." - People
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Guest List comes a new locked room mystery, set in a Paris apartment building in which every resident has something to hide…
Jess needs a fresh start. She's broke and alone, and she's just left her job under less than ideal circumstances. Her half-brother Ben didn't sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn't say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. Only when she shows up – to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? – he's not there.
The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother's situation, and the more questions she has. Ben's neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it's starting to look like it's Ben's future that's in question.
The socialite – The nice guy – The alcoholic – The girl on the verge – The concierge
Everyone's a neighbor. Everyone's a suspect. And everyone knows something they're not telling.

I really enjoyed this book and it’s structure. The short chapters and various points of view made it engaging and suspenseful. It was a bit of a slow burn at first establishing the many players, but overall an enjoyable read despite its flaws.

I finally bought it for a high price on kindle. Books prices are getting crazy but I did enjoy it and am happy the proceeds go to this author who has wonderful talent. Basically Jess ends up at her brother’s apartment but he is missing and no one is jumping in to help her. The story has so many twists and switches from different viewpoints. It keeps the mind guessing. A little short, great vacation read. Thank you for the entertainment!

This book Ended up being pretty good. The beginning was very slow it took me a few chapters to actually get into it. A lot of pages were so descriptive They spent so much time just describing what was in a 1 room And that was a little bit much for me. I felt the need to say just get to the point. But the ending was very unexpected and I did like it.
