Welcome to Litsy!

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.

Okay thriller, but the plot was guessable in places.

Finished the tagged as a bonus for #MarvellousMay as well as

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.

This started out promisingly but then devolved into utter stupidity and nonsense.

⭐️⭐️

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.

Copper is so sleepy he doesn‘t even move when I place this book for the photo 📸

Having a hard time focusing on this one… about 100 pages in and trying to power through.

Jess is 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.

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.

A dark and atmospheric mystery. I enjoyed the ending.

#ALSpine book 1! Thank you for the great recommendation @Sresendez12. My goal is to read one of your recommended books per month (that I haven't yet read). Thank you for organizing @monalyisha

I am not usually a thriller type person, but I enjoyed this one.

It was hard to pick a favorite from April…had lots of 4⭐️ reads. But I‘m a big fan of Foley, so this one won out!

#12Booksof2022

A fun mystery with unexpected twists. The audio version was great!

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.

Enough twists and turns that I couldn‘t predict the ending

⭐️ ⭐️ 💫

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.

#TheParisApartment

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

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 ?

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.

This was not my favorite Lucy Foley novel, but I can tell she was passionate about it which makes reading it more fun. It‘s a very slow burn and that ending is wild. 👀

Nope..... #teamslaughter @Clwojick #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks #spookoween @TheSpineView

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 🙂📚

I was glad when I finally finished this book. I was insanely bored. Even when the book “got good” and some twists were revealed I was just so glad to being closer to being done. ⭐️⭐️

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!

Y'all have me reading 2 at a time now🙂

Starting this e-book I had on hold thru Libby and reading physical book In the Midst of Fire.

Liked this one a lot. I always like Foley. Rotating cast of characters is my catnip. 🪴🐈

This is crazy that this was my Aug pick. I typically don't read suspense or thriller type books. But I enjoyed this one.

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

Finished my book and my wine! Both were great! 😊 I really enjoyed this book and all of its twists and turns. Will definitely read more by this author

Lucy Foley is always a win for me. Such good, twisty mysteries.

#LetterP #alphabetgame @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

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. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Another 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!

I 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!

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!

I‘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.

This 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

Just an ok book. Jumped around from person to person. Did like the ending.
