3.0

2.5 ⭐ Quick read and tried to be as vague as possible with multiple POVs to keep it mysterious but didn't achieve the result it set out

I hate to say it, but man this was a slog.

3 stars.

I wanted to love this, but it was just okay. I loved the vivid world-building of the apartment and its dwellers, but the ending strained credulity. It was also a bit repetitive and could have been edited down pretty significantly without losing much.

twisty slow-building thriller with a fun, eery vibe that comes with the setting at an apartment full of secrets. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a great job capturing all 5 POV characters. Would’ve been 5 stars but really slows down at points.

Read in one day, Paris Apartment shows Foley’s expertise of weaving strings of flawed characters together that has you turning page after page. I enjoyed the suspense and originality of this book, but I feel there was too much unnecessary sexual promiscuities throughout.
Having read three of her books, here are my ratings:
Hunting Party 5⭐️
Paris Apartment 4⭐️
Guest List 3⭐️
