It doesn't help that every character acts so high-strung and paranoid, even when nothing is happening. It's just all high anticipation, all the time. That's all good, but after a while, it gets to be a bit much, you know? There's no natural ebb and flow in the tone. Every moment in this book is so dramatic, with dark shadows and scary sounds at every turn. Having read a few of Lucy Foley's books, I feel like she's really good at building up anticipation. As she digs deeper and asks around, she starts to realize that all is not as it seems at this apartment building.

When she arrives at his residence, she finds a fancy building with questionable tenants, but no sign of Ben.

Jess needs a place to stay, so she hits up her half brother. The Paris Apartment feels mostly like melodramatic dithering, but I guess I was somewhat entertained. And everyone knows something they’re not telling. The socialite – The nice guy – The alcoholic – The girl on the verge – The conciergeĮveryone’s a neighbor. 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. Ben’s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has. Only when she shows up – to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? – he’s not there. 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. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances.
