My score: A-

Discuss a wild journey!!! The Paris Apartment was one heck of an attention-grabbing and twisty learn. Surprises have been sprinkled all through the e book — one thing I admire since so many thrillers save all of the twists and suprises for the tip — and I completely devoured this one! (Price noting this e book appears to be polarizing however I’m within the camp of people that actually loved it.) I discovered myself noticing the writer’s creativity on this story over and over and completely advocate it to anybody who loves suspenseful thrillers. It was stuffed with rigidity and questionable characters and was one of the partaking books I’ve learn shortly.

The e book begins when Jess arrives in Paris for the primary time to go to her brother Ben. She arrives at his house and rapidly notices one thing is off. He’s not there and never answering his calls. His neighbors bristle at her questions and the tires his Vespa look like slashed. And, additionally, his house is superb. How may he doable afford such a high-end place on a struggling journalist’s wage?

As Jess begins trying to find Ben increasingly more questions start to floor, questions that make her critically involved for her brother’s security… and in addition her personal. Who’re Ben’s neighbors? Why does she get the sensation they know extra about her brother than they’re prepared to share? Who can she belief? And can she ever see her brother once more?
