Jess needs a fresh start. She’s 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.

The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has. Ben’s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. 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.

The socialite – The nice guy – The alcoholic – The girl on the verge – The concierge

Everyone’s a neighbor. Everyone’s a suspect. …

Review of 'Paris Apartment' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I like a locked room mystery, but the Paris Apartment ceased to be a “locked room mystery” the moment the author introduced hidden staircases.

The basic premise had potential but the writing style was nothing special. There were too many incidences of shattered glassware and too many injured knees. The main characters, their backstories, and eventual connections to the crime bordered on caricature.

I finished the book only because it was easy to read.
