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.

Thanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. This novel drew me in right away. You are meant to be staying with your brother in his paris apartment but when you get there he is no where to be found.An atmospheric twisty whodunit kind of read.A great thriller read filled with dark family secrets, family dysfunction,plot twists its everything you want in a thriller. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I quite liked this!
A thriller in which Jess turns up at her brothers apartment in Paris to find out he's missing despite speaking to her that very same day. Every occupier in the building, including the concierge, is very strange and is all hiding something.
There are plenty of twists throughout. Some, I did guess, but others I didn't see coming. Yes, it's a little unbelievable and has ridiculous parts, but I found it easy reading and enjoyable.

I enjoyed Lucy Foley‘s other book, the guest list. It had a creepy vibe & you don‘t know who the murdered is. In this book Ben is missing, his sister is trying to find him, there‘s a whole cast of characters that are all just a bit off. I really liked how it all come together.

My favorite thing about this book was the casual drop of an artist‘s name. So I looked on google and found the referenced painting. I learned something 😊

The story was only okay.

Ruthiella Book club, right? I‘ve read a different title from Foley, but came to the same conclusion. I see why she‘s successful, but it‘s not my kind of crime fiction. 3mo

EadieB This is a very interesting book with short chapters, different POV's and plenty of secrets. The characters are unreliable and suspicious. The twisty plot is entertaining and fast-paced. The apartment is a great atmosphere for a creepy disappearance. If you like unreliable, mysterious narrators then you will love this book. I look forward to Lucy Foley's next book. 4mo

I read about halfway then gave up. I almost NEVER don't finish a book once I've started, but this one was just so disjointed and didn't reveal enough details to keep the reader engaged. The investment I had in it wasn't enough to sacrifice time better spent. Maybe it gets better, but most reviews I read suggested that it does not.

Jess arrives in Paris from London to stay with her half-brother Ben, but when she arrives he is missing and his (unexpectedly fancy) apartment building is filled with mysterious strangers who all seem to be hiding something. A fast-paced thriller and mystery that keeps you guessing.

This book was hard for me to keep interest. I enjoyed the writing style, the beginning was good, and the ending had a good twist but overall not one of my favs. I could see why there was a lot of mixed reviews and I can see both sides of those reviews.

I finally got this one finished. And I‘m so sorry it took me so long. My life kind of fell apart in Sept and Oct. I went thru a breakup of my five plus year relationship this month and it‘s been very hard. But this will be on the mail the first and again I‘m sorry. @cwarnier @kellyann28 @staci.reads

cwarnier I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you can turn your life around for the better.
Don't feel bad, about still having this. I have 3 of our books in my possession right now. I have fallen off the reading wagon recently too. I will have “I Must Betray You“ in the mail in the next few days.

I am so fucking sorry. I can‘t believe I did this. I‘ve never done something like that before. 7mo

Not a huge fan of this one, mainly because of the many characters involved I think. It picked up towards the end with a good twist but by then I had largely lost interest. The twist brings it up to a so so rather than a pan.

In a beautiful old apartment block, deep in the backstreets of Paris, secrets are stirring behind every residents door.
There was a murder here last night. Who holds the key to the mystery of apartment three ?

4 🌟

First two chapters hooked me, then everything went into an extremely slow burn until the last four chapters. Those penultimate intense chapters were worth it. I loved that every single character had flaws. No one was the good guy that could do no wrong or vice versa. Overall solid book for a spooky night in.

I should have DNF'd, but everyone has raved about it, so I finished it finally.

I can't figure out what all the hype is about this book. I didn't care for it. It wasn't a very thrilling or suspenseful book to me. The premise of it was good, but it seemed monotonous. If it's on your TBR List, keep it there, because it has gotten great reviews from others. It just wasn't what I was expecting, after all the reviews.

📚 Happy Reading 🙂📚

This book is like a good old-fashioned game of telephone in thriller form.

Its twisty, sordid tale is told by multiple unreliable narrators (there are no heroes in this book, everyone is an asshole to varying degrees), and I loved how all the narratives converged into a cohesive and satisfying ending.

I had a lot of fun trying to guess all the twists and turns, but the truth is I never really saw them coming!

Didn't care for this book at all, weak Character Development and unlikable characters, I honestly didn't care of any of them, and plot was Meh at best. Some twist and turns but really unbelievable and Silly. Don't get the hype and a totally waste of my time. Only gave it 2 🌟 on Goodreads

I 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. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

I 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!
