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.

this was my first mystery read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. it was a bit slow, but the author drops little hints that pull you back in and make you want to keep reading. I was still guessing all the way to the end and then I was shocked by what actually happened. I really liked the authors writing style. I look forward to reading more from her

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.
