the paris apartment

The Paris Apartment is a slow burn mystery novel more than it is a thriller. The first two hundred pages don’t reveal much in terms of where Ben could be, or the type of relationship he had with his neighbours. One could easily become frustrated with the lack of information or leads into what could have possibly happened to Ben. However, things pick up once you reach a certain point, and it becomes difficult to put the book down. Overall, Lucy Foley has written an intriguing story with a slew of messy, reticent characters. If you enjoy slow burn mysteries, with twists and turns scattered about, then this book is for you. Just be warned, paying attention to the small details is how you figure out what really happened to Ben Daniels.
