The Paris Apartment | 
pickI read through this one really fast. I am not typically a thriller/ mystery type reader, but this one had me hooked.
There were times I neglected life (and maybe even working 😜) to read.
I know many of you have read other Foley books, and say this one is not as good, but I don't have anything to compare to, so I give it 4 stars. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
pickAnother good thriller from Lucy Foley, this time set in Paris. The characters are not really nice at all. A good twist at the end, but not one of my favourites from her.
I always love choosing new books for my #bookspin list each month. I don't know why, because I have not been very good at reading my bookspin or #doublespin book anyways. I have only made 5 of them this year so far.
Anyways here is my August list!
pickI really enjoyed this one! There were lots of twists and turns, some were easy to see coming, some were not. I love the way Foley writes her characters to give them all motive and opportunity to keep you guessing throughout the whole book. And there were many mysteries to solve!
pickI enjoyed this Lucy Foley novel. The main character was pretty reckless, which, at moments, got a little annoying. But overall it was a great mystery to read. The plot twist was totally unexpected as well! There were some things that I ended up predicting happening but that's part of why I enjoy reading mysteries!
pickI‘m really loving Lucy Foley‘s books! This is only the second one I‘ve read and she continues to impress me! Looking forward to reading more of her work.
pickThis book was full of twists and turns that kept me guessing and never quite gave away the ending. I really enjoyed the writing style and the character descriptions.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Starting a new book today, and drinking coffee out of my new mushroom mug. Happy Saturday! 🥰 #MugsOfLitst
so-soJust an ok book. Jumped around from person to person. Did like the ending.
so-soTowards the end it picked up for me, but I found the beginning half a little meh. I read this as a buddy read with my dad, which was fun, but I might have bailed otherwise. My favorite by this author remains The Hunting Party.
so-soThe short "chapters" with suspense in each one kept me going but overall just felt a little silly.

Finished this one this morning! I didn't like it as much as The Guest List by this author but it wasn't bad! Can't wait to see what you all think! I'll get this out next week
so-soThis started well, intriguing enough but the suspense falters, and overall it lacks the tension and dread I was expecting. Also, I felt there wasn‘t a distinct difference in the voice of various POVs. I was entertained by some parts of it though. Maybe this book and I are not a good fit because there‘re others who loved it.
pickFinished my first vacation book and MAN what a dark, page turning story. I seriously didn‘t see that train hitting. 5 ☀️
so-soThis is the third book of hers I have read. For some reason, she doesn‘t resonate with me. The Paris Apartment starts with a sister arriving in Paris to visit her brother, but he has disappeared and there is blood. To say more would reveal too much. I didn‘t buy this story, even when it was intense. 2/5
pickLucy Foley FTW! Another excellent thriller. Loved this. The audio was great as well. I‘m not picky when it comes to thrillers. As long as it holds my attention, I‘ll give it a 👍- and this one was so fun.
From bottom to top in reading order. I have decided I need to read a ‘classic‘ a month. But first…Lucy Foley.
Trying out the new Nook GlowLight 4e liking it so far but…it‘s a little quirky🤓 🔜 I‘ll decide in a couple of days if it‘s a keeper.
pickSince I loved "The Guest List" so much I wanted to read this. Just when I thought I had it figured out, a twist came about!! So good!
pickFinished this one last night. I may have read it in a day, because I‘m still really jet lagged and couldn‘t do much of anything else.
This mystery was interesting, even though I guessed most of the twists. I‘m not sure how I did, but I did. It doesn‘t happen often, so I don‘t actually like when I do. Makes me think it‘s too simple. 🤷🏻♀️
But this was a quick read, not too many characters to have to remember which was nice.
pickReally good! All the best elements of a thriller are here: solid mystery, spooky atmosphere, complicated characters, satisfying unexpected ending. Great listen on #audio! #joysofjune #readthon #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65
bailedI gave it my best shot over a couple months, but just couldn't get into it. I even tried listening to it, still 👎 This was my first book with this author, I may give her another chance with different book. I know reviews are really mixed on this one.
so-soI really struggled to finish. I generally love Foley‘s work so I was surprised. I think the characters were just not interesting.
This is my first time reading Lucy Foley and I am WOWED! She strung out the plot twist till the very end. The tension was sky high and I absolutely ❤❤❤ it

I listened to The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley. A sister finds her brother missing when she goes to stay at his place in Paris. Everyone seems suspicious in this dark mystery. The characters weren't flat; neither were they compelling. Overhyped, but okay.
pickAfter being disappointed in The Guest List, I was a tad apprehensive about this being my book club‘s May selection. However, I ended up really enjoying this one — another fun setting but the layering of clues and misdirects and reveals felt more sophisticated and well-paced. Did want to break out my editing pen a few times though…
pick5-11-22: My 44th finished book of 2022! What a ride! Jess, a barmaid from London, shows up at her brother, Ben‘s, apartment in Paris, to find him missing. The apartment house has a full cast of characters, an alcoholic, a nice guy, a socialite, a young girl who seems to be losing it and the concierge who knows all. As Jess ingratiates herself into their world to learn more about her brother‘s disappearance many scary facts emerge.
I‘ve heard mixed reviews on this one but I‘m determined to make my own opinion on this one. The best time for me to start a new book is on my break. #breaktimereading #readingatwork
pickMore of a pick than not. The structure was ambitious, the characters were ok but the plot and mystery was good. I enjoy Lucy Foley‘s stories and the setting was very creepy here. Jess was ok but the rest were a little unbelievable. I think we maybe would have been more vested if we knew more about brother, Ben!

I wasn't really a fan of any of the characters. After each twist, I felt pretty indifferent. It wasn't a bad book, just not all that captivating. Especially as a thriller. I LOVED the Guest List, but this one just didn't do it for me.
5.3.22
pickThis novel was a page-turner and solid entertainment. I think I liked _The Guest List_ better, and I think it had a less predictable plot, but anything Parisian gets extra points in my book, and there are definitely a few shockers in this one. Check it out.
I enjoyed this one for the most part. It seemed like it took forever to get going. I was surprised by a couple of twists and saw others coming. This is my first by this author and I‘ll read others!

Better even than that were the short hairs I found around the sink where he‘d shaved and hadn‘t managed to wash them all away. I collected several of them on a finger. I swallowed them.
😳🤢🤮 disgusting!!!
This book is wild!! Parts of it remind me of the movie Wedding Crashers!! I know that sounds crazy! 😳😵💫🤪
