Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - The Paris Apartment

Personally didn't love it. The characters were gross and creepy and I didn't find myself inves ed in any of them. The mystery was interesting and the twists were good but ultimately the characters were just sad and the story was depressing.

I might have enjoyed the twist at the end but by that point I was not really invested in any of the characters and mainly just wanted to finish to see what happened.

I could see this being enjoyed more by people who can visualize while reading and are more immersed in a book. I still don’t think it would be 5 stars for me because I think I prefer when a book doesn’t seem to be holding information back just for the sake of a plot twist later. If too much is directly hinted at ahead of time it frustrates me. Could work for a different type of reader where it might build suspense.

Overall, I think I’m not the target audience.

We follow Jess, who left her life in England to live with her brother Ben in Paris. When she arrives to Ben's apartment in Paris, she notices he disappeared, he isn't returning her calls and left the apartment without his wallet. So, she is convinced that something happened to her brother, and she won't stop until find what it was and where he is. She must start on his brother building, which seems to be full of weirdos.

Unfortunately, is full of French bias, not because they are French are all promiscuous or are sexually driven... Mixing mystery with sexual content was definitely not my ally. With a big variety of personalities, I imagine a murder and identify the killer from the beginning, so most of the time I was really confused with all the sexual content, that for me was not necessary at all... Nevertheless, I didn't expect the twist at the end...

Took me awhile to get into it, but once fully immersed the story is amazing! Full of twists and turns some of which you don’t expect. Towards the end, my jaw dropped!

Overall a good read, different from the other two I’ve read by this author. The structure was interesting. The twists and turns often outed themselves just before they happened and it picked up far too much in the last 40 pages compared to the slow burn of the rest of the book
