Holy cow! This book is quite a ride. Nothing is what it seems in this mystery/thriller. Told from many different viewpoints, but never confusing. None of the characters are reliable, or without their secrets. Is there a twist or two? Maybe. Is there murder? Perhaps. Does everything change by the end? Could be. Read it and find out. Really. Read it.

Honestly, all of Lucy Foley’s books blend together. I can barely differentiate one of her books from another.

Rounded up. I did not care for the writing style, everything so spelled out. It also didn’t feel creepy or thriller-ish or suspenseful - for the most part. There were moments here and there, but no momentum or anxiety or much anticipation for what was to come. In the end it just fell flat. Bummer.

I have to admit that I really like Lucy Foley’s writing style as she always keeps me guessing. What I particularly liked about this one was the atmosphere she created in the Paris apartment building. Jess was literally the only likable character in the book. In fact at points I so disliked Ben I didn’t really care what had happened to him, but Jess kept me going. A few too many loose ends in this one- 3.5 stars.
