...Yet another thriller that I did not enjoy.  It was filled with characters that had one main facet which was being awful.  Would not recommend.

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...

Many twists and turns which kept me in suspense.  The audiobook is narrated by different people for each character which enhances the experience

This book was slow to get into. The characters were not very like able- all making strange choices and decisions the whole story. They all had a weird connection and it wasn’t all that believable. I liked Foley’s other work much more. This wasn’t the worst read— I got into it and felt like I needed to finish it and know what was going on. But most of the time I was just impatiently confused.
