The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley

THE PARIS APARTMENT by Lucy Foley (The Guest List) is definitely suspenseful and has a sinister atmosphere. The story begins with Jess contacting her brother, Ben, and his promise to let her in his Paris apartment. She arrives on a night train from London, but he is nowhere to be found.  As the story progresses, it looks like Jess may herself be in serious trouble for the residents in the complex are not what they seem. Foley evoked emotion – I was scared for Jess, but I was also a bit frustrated. It felt like she should have left or been more forceful; but how could she know whom to trust? The Guest List seemed to have a similar arc to the story line – great atmosphere at the beginning and then a lull in the action to be followed be a relatively quick resolution.  Enjoy THE PARIS APARTMENT, especially if you are looking for an “escape” to Europe over Spring Break!
